Species and sex-specific chemosensory gene expression in Anopheles coluzzii and An. quadriannulatus antennae

Species and sex-specific chemosensory gene expression in Anopheles coluzzii and An. quadriannulatus antennae

Abstract Background Olfactory cues drive mosquito behaviors such as host-seeking, locating sugar sources and oviposition. These behaviors can vary between sexes and closely related species. For example, the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii is highly anthropophilic, whereas An. quadriannulatus is no...
