Genetic variation in olfactory pathways associated with host-seeking behavior in natural populations of Anopheles minimus, a primary malaria vector in western Thailand
The observed significant genomic variance in field-collected An. minimus females, categorized by collection methods (reflecting host-seeking behavior), proposes a genetic underpinning for these behavioral variations. Differential nsSNPs within olfactory pathway genes might be functionally linked to host-seeking in this important malaria vector.
