RNAi-based demonstration of direct link between specific odorant receptors and mosquito oviposition behavior

The Southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus – a vector of West Nile virus – is equipped with 130 odorant receptors (ORs), which enable young females to locate plants and blood-meal sources and older females to find suitable sites for oviposition. In our attempts to de-orphanize ORs expressed...
