Non-Canonical Odor Coding in the Mosquito

2020-11-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are a persistent human foe, transmitting arboviruses including dengue and yellow fever when they bite us to obtain a blood meal. Mosquitoes are intensely attracted to human-emitted body odor, heat, and carbon dioxide, which they detect using three different large multi-gene families encoding odor-gated ion channels. Genetic mutations that cause profound disruption...
