Antennal-expressed ammonium transporters in the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Pitts R Jason, Derryberry Stephen L, Pulous Fadi E, Zwiebel Laurence J

Abstract excerpt

The principal Afrotropical malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae remains a significant threat to human health. In this anthropophagic species, females detect and respond to a range of human-derived volatile kairomones such as ammonia, lactic acid, and other carboxylic acids in their quest for blood meals. While the molecular underpinnings of mosquito olfaction and host seeking are becoming better understood,...
