Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of mosquito olfaction have opened opportunities to approach behavioural disruption strategies of disease vectors from a new vantage point. The genome sequence projects of Anopheles gambiae, Aedes aegypti and Drosophila melanogaster have allowed the identification of complete gene families that are involved in odorant sensing and signal regulation. Odorant receptor proteins, in particular, have been shown to be directly involved in olfactory transduction. The function of these receptors in various head appendages of the larval and adult mosquitoes has also raised new fundamental questions pertaining to the nature and mechanisms of olfaction in these insects.
