Table_2_Blood Meal Induced Regulation of Gene Expression in the Maxillary Palps, a Chemosensory Organ of the Mosquito Aedes aegypti.XLSX [PDF]
Background:Aedes aegypti is a prominent and highly competent vector of several arboviral diseases, including dengue, yellow fever, and Zika. Behaviors associated with reproductive feeding, both pre- and post-blood meal, directly influence disease ...

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE SENSILLA ON ANTENNA AND MAXILLARY PALPS OF FIVE CULICINE MOSQUITOES IN SOHAG GOVERNORATE [PDF]
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 ...

Functional development of carbon dioxide detection in the maxillary palp of Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
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 ...

Sensing the underground--ultrastructure and function of sensory organs in root-feeding Melolontha melolontha (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) larvae. [PDF]
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
