Morphological specializations of mosquito CO2-sensing olfactory receptor neurons

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Number 43, October 2025.
SignificanceCarbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by human hosts is an essential signal that mosquitoes use for host detection, but the nanoscale three-dimensional (3D) structure of their CO2-sensing neurons and associated cells remains unclear. Elucidating the anatomy…
