Characterization of odorant binding and chemosensory protein families in the kissing bug Triatoma infestans: comparative analysis among Heteroptera species.
This work represents the first comprehensive genomic analysis of chemosensory and odorant-binding protein families across Hemiptera species, as well as the first characterization of these gene families in T. infestans using genomic data. It contributes to a better understanding of the molecular basis of chemoreception and insecticide resistance in T. infestans.
