A recent study finds that Anopheles gambiae mosquito is able to smell major human host odorants better at night. The study reports an integrative approach to examine the mosquito's ability to smell across the 24-hour day and involved proteomic, sensory physiological, and behavioral techniques. The researchers examined the role for a major chemosensory family of mosquito proteins, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), in the daily regulation of olfactory sensitivities ...Friday, 30 August 2013
