Abstract
The long, feather-like antennae of Aedes
albopictus mosquitoes are used to detect carbon dioxide in breath and air
movement. Blood-feeding mosquitoes have three olfactory organs: the antennae,
maxillary palps, and proboscis. On each of these organs, there are multiple
anatomically different forms of multiparous sensilla. The antennae of the
dengue vector are known to include three different kinds of receptors. Two
families of receptors: odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotrophic receptors (IRs),
which are sensitive to carbon dioxide, and gustatory receptors (GRs).There is
minimal overlap between the molecules identified by these two families, which
are responsive to a variety of compounds. It seems that carbon dioxide and at
least some of these sensors work in concert.
