Mapping of Odor and Temperature Receptors in the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Many species of mosquitoes, including the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, utilize olfactory and temperature cues in host-seeking behaviors that underlie their vectorial capacity. By using a combination of molecular and physiological approaches, we have studied the three head appendages of fe...
