Identification of candidate chemosensory genes in Mythimna separata by transcriptomic analysis [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata, is an economically important and common Lepidopteran pest of cereal crops. Chemoreception plays a key role in insect life, such as foraging, oviposition site selection, and mating partners.

Conserved orthology in termite chemosensory gene families
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Termites are eusocial insects known to use a variety of pheromones in tasks necessary for maintenance of their societies. As such, olfaction and pheromone communication in termites has been an object of intense study; trail-following pheromones (TFPs ...

De novo genome assembly, annotation, and characterization of chemosensory genes in the camel ked (Hippobosca camelina) [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Hippobosca camelina (camel ked) is an obligate hematophagous ectoparasite that infests camels. Hematophagy inflicts painful bites leading to myiasis, anemia and pathogen transmission such as Candidatus Anaplasma camelii.
