Evolution of MOSN, a novel sex-specifically spliced neuronal gene in the Aedes aegypti mosquito

Yael N. Tsitohay, Nipun S. Basrur, Umberto Palatini, Alexandra E. DeFoe, Thomas A. Jones, Junhui Peng, Margaret Herre, Li Zhao, Sean R. Eddy, Nadav Shai, Leslie B. Vosshall

The paper identifies MOSN, a novel sex-specifically spliced neuronal gene in Aedes aegypti, conserved in other mosquito species but absent in Drosophila, with distinct protein isoforms and a duplicated domain.

fruitless mutant male mosquitoes gain attraction to human odor

Nipun S. Basrur, Maria Elena De Obaldia, Takeshi Morita, Margaret Herre, Ricarda K. von Heynitz, Yael N. Tsitohay, Leslie B. Vosshall

This study shows that fruitless mutant male mosquitoes become attracted to human odor, revealing a latent host-seeking behavior normally restricted to females.

A Neuropeptide Signaling System That Rapidly Enforces Paternity In The Aedes aegypti Mosquito

Laura B. Duvall, Nipun S. Basrur, Henrik Molina, Conor J. McMeniman, Leslie B. Vosshall

The paper identifies a neuropeptide system in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that enforces paternity by preventing remating and ensuring sperm from the first male fertilizes all offspring.
