Anthropophilic female mosquitoes are well known for their strong attraction to human hosts,
but plant nectar is a common energy source in their diets. When sugar sources are scarce …

Many of the major biological discoveries of the 20th century were made using just six
species: Escherichia coli bacteria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces …

There are 3559 species of mosquitoes in the world (Harbach 2018) but, so far, only a
handful of them have been a focus of olfactory neuroscience and neurobiology research …

Pathogens may manipulate their human and mosquito hosts to enhance disease
transmission. Dengue, caused by four viral serotypes, is the fastest-growing transmissible …

Modern systems biology has much to owe to the concept of “model species.” This label
refers to organisms that are privileged for the study of particular biological phenomena …

Mosquitoes locate and approach humans based on the activity of odorant receptors (ORs)
expressed on olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). Olfactogenetic experiments in Anopheles …

Background In the light of dengue being the fastest growing transmissible disease, there is a
dire need to identify the mechanisms regulating the behaviour of the main vector Aedes …

Mosquito olfaction is a fascinating object of study, as mosquitoes are adapted to exploit
diverse resources, such as plant-and animal-hosts, as well as oviposition sites in both …

Mosquitoes are emerging as model systems with which to study innate behaviours through
neuroethology and functional genomics. Decades of work on these disease vectors have …

Like other insects, Aedes aegypti displays strong daily patterns in host seeking and mating.
Much of these behaviors are believed to be under the control of a circadian clock, an …
