Avoiding DEET through insect gustatory receptors.

Neuron - 26 Aug 2010

Lee Youngseok, Kim Sang Hoon, Montell Craig

Abstract excerpt

DEET is the most widely used insect repellent worldwide. In Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), DEET is detected through a mechanism employing the olfactory receptor, OR83b. However, it is controversial as to whether ORNs respond directly to DEET or whether DEET blocks the response to attractive odors. Here, we showed that DEET suppressed feeding behavior in Drosophila, and this effect was mediated by...
