SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC INVESTIGATING DIFFERENT TYPE OF SENSORY SENSILLAE ON THE HEAD APPENDAGES OF ASIAN TIGER MOSQUITO, AEDES ALBOPICTUS (SKUSE) [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2021 In Aedes albopictus various types of sensillae were on the head and its appendages with distinctmorphological features. The antennae and maxillary palps play a major role in host detection,and other sensory-mediated behaviors.

A regulatory code for neuron-specific odor receptor expression. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2008 Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) must select-from a large repertoire-which odor receptors to express. In Drosophila, most ORNs express one of 60 Or genes, and most Or genes are expressed in a single ORN class in a process that produces a stereotyped ...

Fine Structure of Maxillary Palps in Adults of Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2020 Abstract A relevant species in waste management but also in forensic, medical, and veterinary sciences is the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus; Diptera: Stratiomyidae). An ultrastructural study by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conducted for the first time on maxillary palps of both sexes, describing in detail the ...

Maxillary Palps Are Broad Spectrum Odorant Detectors in Culex quinquefasciatus [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2007 A single type of olfactory sensilla on maxillary palps in many species of mosquitoes houses a very sensitive olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) for carbon dioxide reception. We performed extensive single sensillum recordings from this peg sensillum in Culex quinquefasciatus and have characterized the response threshold and kinetics for CO(2) reception ...

Rapid degeneration of Drosophila olfactory neurons in Orco mutant maxillary palps
microPublication biology, 2021 The odorant receptor co-receptor Orco forms ligand-gated ion channels with odorant receptors (ORs) tuned to specific odors; Orco is required for trafficking of these complexes to the dendrites of olfactory neurons (Larsson et. al., 2004). Mutation of the Orco gene not only abolishes olfactory neuron activity but has also revealed potential new roles ...
