Gene Editing Reveals Obligate and Modulatory Components of the CO <sub>2</sub> Receptor Complex in the Malaria Vector Mosquito, <i>Anopheles coluzzii</i>
2020-05-15
Abstract excerpt
The sensitivity to volatile carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) produced by humans and other animals is a critical component in the host preference behaviors of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles coluzzii . The molecular receptors responsible for the ability to sense CO 2 are encoded by three putative gustatory receptor ( Gr ) genes ( Gr22,23,24 ) which are expressed in a distinctive array of sensory neurons housed in...
