Carboxylic acid responses by a conserved odorant receptor in culicine vector mosquitoes
27 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Many mosquito behaviours that are critical for survival and reproduction depend upon timely responses to chemical cues. Of interest are the effects of volatile organic compounds like carboxylic acids (CAs) that are released by potential blood meal hosts. Short chain CAs are among the primary attractants for host-seeking females and influence host selection in vector species. Although the behavioural relevance of...
