Differential expression of antennal chemosensory genes related to host preference of Culex pipiens biotypes
This study identified a set of chemosensory genes that are putatively correlated with the differential host preference of the two biotypes. Future research is required to increase the understanding of the function of the identified chemosensory receptors, and how they can be used as genetic markers of host preference of wild mosquitoes.
