Abstract:Female adult anautogenous mosquitoes rely heavily on diverse chemical stimuli to locate and discriminate hosts for feeding through their olfactory system. Odorant binding proteins are believed to be the first proteins to interact with semiochemicals in the olfactory sensory system, but their functions in host seeking have not been extensively explored. Here, we used transposon-based transgenesis and CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing to localize and functionally characterize the odorant binding protein AsOBP1 in… Show more
