New paper in Current Biology about Anopheles and DEET

By admin20/10/201920/10/2019Uncategorized

Our new paper is just out in Current Biology:

Commonly Used Insect Repellents Hide Human Odors from Anopheles Mosquitoes

accompanied by a lay summary on Twitter by Chris and a short write-up in the Publications section. In short, we used, for the first time, GCaMP in Anopheles, and concluded that DEET traps molecules of attractive odorants without directly activating antennal neurons!
