MOLECULAR BASIS OF PERIPHERAL OLFACTORY PLASTICITY IN Rhodnius prolixus, A CHAGAS DISEASE VECTOR

MOLECULAR BASIS OF PERIPHERAL OLFACTORY PLASTICITY IN Rhodnius prolixus, A CHAGAS DISEASE VECTOR

Olfaction is fundamental for most animals and critical for different aspects of triatomine biology, including host-seeking, reproduction, avoidance of predators, and aggregation in shelters.
