Two Odorant-Binding Protein Genes in Mosquitoes: Comparative Genomics, Expression, and Function
… transport them to their cognate receptors in the olfactory receptor neurons. With the availability of the genome sequence of the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, there has been a profound interest in the characterization and functional analyses of Obp genes in order to understand the …

Cells that Kill: The Chemosensory Cell Types of Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
… receptors in1991 has shown that each mouse olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) expresses a single odorant receptor. Early work in Drosophila melanogaster flies reported a similar organization, although some key differences were noted. Insects detect odorants with three families of ionotropic …

Sensitivity to chemical stimuli plays a fundamental role in the food preferences. Examples in the evolutionary scale: 1. Role of the walking leg chemoreceptors in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus Clarkii 2. PROP bitter taste sensitivity and its nutritional implications in Humans
… legs), in particular, have been reported to be olfactory organs involved in a number of behavioral responses, such as, sex recognition and localization of food sources in the environment. By way of extracellular nerve recordings coupled with behavioral bioassays, we investigated the sensitivity …
