Odorant reception in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae.Nature, 464, 66-71, 2010.Order of authorship in the original publication: Carey, Wang, ... Carlson. The authors showed that besides CO2, the odorant receptors in the malaria mosquistoes Anopheles gambiae are sensitive to other "mostly sweat" organic compounds like "1-octen-3-ol", which is very common in human and animal odor. These receptors play a central role in human recognition in the human host-seeking behavior of these mosquitoes. Digital facsimile from PubMedCentral at this link.
