New Insights into the Mechanism of Odorant Detection by the Malaria-transmitting Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes that transmit Plasmodium falciparum malaria use a series of olfactory cues present in human sweat to locate their hosts for a blood meal. Recognition of these odor cues occurs through the interplay of odorant receptors and odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) that bind to odo...
