THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF SENSILLA ASSOCIATED WITH MOUTHPARTS AND ANTENNAE OF LUCILIA CUPRINA [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2013 Antennal and maxillary palps of Lucilia cuprina male and female (family: Calliphoridae) were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Five types of sensilla were observed namely: trichoid, basiconic, coeloconic, styloconic and sensory pit.

Odor Coding in the Maxillary Palp of the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 Many species of mosquitoes, including the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, utilize carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-octen-3-ol as olfactory cues in host-seeking behaviors that underlie their vectorial capacity. However, the molecular and cellular basis of such olfactory responses remains largely unknown.Here, we use molecular and physiological ...

The larval morphology of a new mid-Cretaceous stonefly and its systematic position in Plecoptera [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2022 The larval stage is an essential part of the life history of stoneflies and can provide substantial biological and evolutionary information. However, well-preserved fossils of larvae are sparse.

A comparison of the olfactory gene repertoires of adults and larvae in the noctuid moth Spodoptera littoralis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 To better understand the olfactory mechanisms in a lepidopteran pest model species, the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis, we have recently established a partial transcriptome from adult antennae.

1-Octen-3-ol – the attractant that repels [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/5ic]
F1000Research, 2015 Since the discovery in the early 1980s that 1-octen-3-ol, isolated from oxen breath, attracts tsetse fly, there has been growing interest in exploring the use of this semiochemical as a possible generic lure for trapping host-seeking mosquitoes ...

Zoological Letters, 2020 Appetite or feeding motivation relies significantly on food odors. In the blowfly Phormia regina, feeding motivation for sucrose is decreased by the odor of d-limonene but increased by the odor of 1-octen-3-ol odor.

Deciphering the olfactory repertoire of the tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is a highly invasive species and competent vector of several arboviruses (e.g. dengue, chikungunya, Zika) and parasites (e.g. dirofilaria) of public health importance.

Odor Coding in a Model Olfactory Organ: TheDrosophilaMaxillary Palp [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1999 Odor coding relies on the activity of different classes of receptor neurons, each with distinct response characteristics. We have examined odor coding in a model olfactory organ, the maxillary palp ofDrosophila. This organ contains only 120 olfactory receptor neurons, compartmentalized in sensory hairs called sensilla, and provides an opportunity to ...

Immunolocalization and role of an olfactory co-receptor in chemosensory organs of Aedes albopictus [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015 An olfactory co-receptor gene AalbOrco was isolated and described from Aedes albopictus using the RACE technique. AalbOrco contained typical structures of seven transmembrane domains and Nin-Cout.
