Functional analysis of Orco and odorant receptors in odor recognition in Aedes albopictus
27 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes albopictus is a globally invasive mosquito and a major vector of arboviruses, including dengue, Zika and Chikungunya. Olfactory-related behaviors, particularly host-seeking, offer opportunities to disrupt the disease-transmission process. A better understanding of odorant receptors (ORs) may assist in explaining host selection and location, and contribute to novel strategy of vector control....
