Mosquitoes exhibit highly diverse and fast evolving odorant receptors (ORs). The indole-sensitive OR gene clade, comprised of <i>Or2</i> and <i>Or10</i> is a notable exception on account of its conservation in both mosquito subfamilies. This group of paralogous genes exhibits a complex developmental expression pattern in <i>Aedes aegypti</i>: <i>AaegOr2</i> is expressed in both adults and larvae, <i>AaegOr10</i> is adult-specific and a third member named <i>AaegOr9</i> is larva-specific. OR2 and ...[more]
