Evolutionary Dynamics of the Complete Chemosensory Repertoire in Kissing Bugs of the Genus <i>Rhodnius</i> : Divergent Odorant Receptors Contrast with Conserved Gene Families
2026-07-10
Abstract excerpt
Chemosensory systems play a central role in host detection, feeding behavior, and habitat selection in hematophagous insects. Here, we performed a comparative evolutionary analysis of chemosensory gene repertoires across 13 species of the Chagas disease vector genus Rhodnius . While gustatory receptors (GRs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) remained g...
