The ion channel <i>ppk301</i> controls freshwater egg-laying in the mosquito <i>Aedes aegypti</i>

2018-10-12

Abstract excerpt

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are deadly vectors of arboviral pathogens including Zika, dengue, and yellow fever, and breed in containers of freshwater associated with human habitation 1,2 . Female Ae. aegypti lay eggs near freshwater because larval and pupal stages are aquatic 3 . They use volatile cues to locate water at a distance 4 , while at close-range they contact water to evaluate its suitability for egg-la...
