In adult mosquitoes, olfactory receptor expression has been localised to the antennae, maxillary palps and proboscis in Anopheles (Pitts et al. 2004, 2011; Athrey et al. 2017; Saveer et al. 2018), Aedes (Melo et al. 2004; Bohbot et al. 2007; Sparks et al. 2014; Matthews et al. 2016; Lombardo et al. 2017), Toxorhynchites (Zhou et al. 2014 (only ...

Olfactory neurons that originate in one of the sensory appendages (indicated by yellow, pink, and green lines in the mosquito head cartoon) innervate one of the 2 brain regions: the antennal lobes (AL) (from the antennae and the maxillary palps) and …

Scanning electron microscopy was used to identify and describe the diverse types of sensilla found on the antennae and maxillary palps of C. pipiens and A. aegypti. In total, 900 C. pipiens and 400 A. aegypti mosquitoes were identified.

Jun 14, 2007 · A single type of olfactory sensilla on maxillary palps in many species of mosquitoes houses a very sensitive olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) for carbon dioxide reception.

Oct 3, 2016 · Antennae (top row), maxillary palps (middle row) and proboscis (bottom row) of adult female (left) and male (right) mosquitoes were immunostained with anti-CD8 (blue) and anti-DmOrco (red)...

Sep 9, 2007 · To test the response profiles of the ORN population in the maxillary palp, we adopted a broad panel of 97 compounds that included specific odorants implicated in mosquito behavior.

Many other mosquitoes have had their olfactory complements partially described. This review summarizes ultrastructural features and suspected biological roles ofthe small sensillacoeloconica, large sensilla coeloconica, sensilla ampullaceae, grooved pegs and.

In mosquitoes, the olfactory organs consist of the antennae, maxillary palps and proboscis (Kwon et al., 2006; Pitts & Zwiebel, 2006; Mclver, 1982). Various forms of cuticular hair-like structures, called sensilla (Figure 1), cover the surface of these appendages, and are the basic functional units in the olfactory system.

The maxillary palps are mobile appendages that vibrate during probing and initial phase of blood-feeding (McIver and system mainly deployed on the head of the mosquito and con-sisting of the compound eyes, antennae, mouthparts and maxillary

To gain a better grasp on the molecular biology of the disease-vector Aedes aegypti, We created a mosquito cell atlas, a large-scale snRNA-seq project of essentially every tissue from the adult mosquito. We collected 19 tissues from male and female mosquitoes, comprising 47 samples and over 300,000 nuclei after quality-control filtering.
