Functional characterization of AsOBP21f, an odorant-binding protein involved in human odor detection in the malaria vector Anopheles sinensis
These results highlight the role of AsOBP21f in host-seeking behavior through the detection of human odors, such as methyl tridecanoate, in An. sinensis, providing a potential target for malaria control.
