Transcriptional responses of Aedes aegypti chemosensory tissues in response to volatile DEET and citronella oil

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).
