Cross-modal sensory compensation increases mosquito attraction to humans

Takeshi Morita, Nia G. Lyn, Ricarda K. von Heynitz, Olivia V. Goldman, Trevor R. Sorrells, Matthew DeGennaro, Benjamin John Matthews, Leah Houri-Zeevi, Leslie B. Vosshall

The paper identifies a sensory compensation mechanism in female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes where loss of odorant receptor co-receptor Orco leads to enhanced heat detection via upregulated Ir140 in forelegs.

Non-canonical odor coding in the mosquito

Meg A. Younger, Margaret Herre, Olivia V. Goldman, Tzu‐Chiao Lu, Gabriela Caballero-Vidal, Yanyan Qi, Zachary N. Gilbert, Zhongyan Gong, Takeshi Morita, Saher Rahiel, Majid Ghaninia, Rickard Ignell, Benjamin John Matthews, Hongjie Li, Leslie B. Vosshall

Aedes aegypti olfactory neurons often co-express OR, IR and sometimes GR receptors; in the maxillary palp, one neuron type responds to odorants via both OR and IR pathways.

DEET feet: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes use their tarsi to sense DEET on contact

Emily Jane Dennis, Olivia V. Goldman, Leslie B. Vosshall

This paper shows DEET repels mosquitoes through smell, taste, and contact, with contact mediated by leg tarsi, not proboscis taste receptors.
