- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 16 February 2010
A systematic functional analysis across much of the conventional Anopheles gambiae odorant receptor (AgOR) repertoire was carried out in Xenopus oocytes using two-electrode, voltage-clamp… Expand
Odor Coding in the Maxillary Palp of the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

BACKGROUND
Many species of mosquitoes, including the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, utilize carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-octen-3-ol as olfactory cues in host-seeking behaviors that underlie… Expand
Odourant reception in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae

- 28 January 2010
The mosquito Anopheles gambiae is the major vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. It locates its human hosts primarily through olfaction, but little is known about the molecular basis of this… Expand
Distinct Olfactory Signaling Mechanisms in the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae
- C. Liu, R. J. Pitts, J. Bohbot, P. L. Jones, Guirong Wang, L. J. Zwiebel

- 1 August 2010
A combination of gene silencing and behavioral studies in the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae sheds light on the olfactory basis of DEET repulsion as well as reveals the role of another… Expand
Beyond chemoreception: diverse tasks of soluble olfactory proteins in insects
- P. Pelosi, I. Iovinella, Jiao Zhu, Guirong Wang, F. R. Dani
- Biology, Medicine
- Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical…
- 1 February 2018
Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are regarded as carriers of pheromones and odorants in insect chemoreception. These proteins are typically located in antennae, mouth… Expand
The molecular and cellular basis of olfactory-driven behavior in Anopheles gambiae larvae
- Y. Xia, Guirong Wang, D. Buscariollo, R. J. Pitts, Heidi Wenger, L. J. Zwiebel
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 29 April 2008
The mosquito Anopheles gambiae is the principal Afrotropical vector for human malaria. A central component of its vectorial capacity is the ability to maintain sufficient populations of adults.… Expand
Anopheles gambiae TRPA1 is a heat‐activated channel expressed in thermosensitive sensilla of female antennae
- Guirong Wang, Yu T. Qiu, +5 authors Laurence J. Zwiebel
- Biology, Medicine
- The European journal of neuroscience
- 1 September 2009
Heat sensitivity is a sensory modality that plays a critical role in close‐range host‐seeking behaviors of adult female Anopheles gambiae, the principal Afrotropical vector for human malaria. An… Expand
Functional characterization and immunolocalization of odorant binding protein 1 in the lucerne plant bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus (GOEZE).
- S. Gu, Weixuan Wang, +5 authors Y. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- Archives of insect biochemistry and physiology
- 1 June 2011
In the insect phylum, the relationships between individuals and their environment are often modulated by chemical communication. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are widely and robustly expressed in… Expand
Mutation of an aminopeptidase N gene is associated with Helicoverpa armigera resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac toxin.

- Insect biochemistry and molecular biology
- 1 July 2009
A Cry1Ac-resistant strain (Bt-R) of Helicoverpa armigera, with 2971-fold resistance, was derived by selection with Cry1Ac toxin for 75 generations. We used cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism… Expand
