Two chemosensory receptors together mediate carbon dioxide detection in Drosophila.

Nature - 4 Jan 2007

Jones Walton D, Cayirlioglu Pelin, Kadow Ilona Grunwald, Vosshall Leslie B

Abstract excerpt

Blood-feeding insects, including the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, use highly specialized and sensitive olfactory systems to locate their hosts. This is accomplished by detecting and following plumes of volatile host emissions, which include carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is sensed by a population of olfactory sensory neurons in the maxillary palps of mosquitoes and in the antennae of the more genetically...
