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.

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.

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 ...

Functional development of carbon dioxide detection in the maxillary palp of Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015 Olfactory information drives several behaviours critical for the survival and persistence of insect pests and vectors. Insect behaviour is variable, linked to their biological needs, and regulated by physiological dynamics. For mosquitoes, carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important cue that signifies the presence of a host, and which elicits activation and ...

BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Anopheles (An.) coluzzii, one of Africa’s primary malaria vectors, is highly anthropophilic. This human host preference contributes greatly to its ability to transmit malaria. In contrast, the closely related An.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE SENSILLA ON ANTENNA AND MAXILLARY PALPS OF FIVE CULICINE MOSQUITOES IN SOHAG GOVERNORATE [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2013 Mosquitoes are unquestionably the most medically important arthropod vectors of disease. The maintenance and transmission of the pathogens that cause malaria, lymphatic filariasis, and numerous viral infections are absolutely dependent on the ...

Sensing the underground--ultrastructure and function of sensory organs in root-feeding Melolontha melolontha (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 INTRODUCTION: Below ground orientation in insects relies mainly on olfaction and taste. The economic impact of plant root feeding scarab beetle larvae gave rise to numerous phylogenetic and ecological studies. Detailed knowledge of the sensory capacities
