Abstract excerpt
Olfaction has been extensively studied in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti . This species uses its sense of smell to find blood hosts and other resources, contributing to its impact as a vector for human pathogens. Two major families of protein-coding genes, the odorant receptors ( Ors ) and the ionotropic receptors ( Irs ), provide the mosquito with sensitivities to distinct classes of volatile compoun...
