Mosquito olfactory-driven behavioral responses. Physiological status such as circadian-regulated appetitive stimulus or gonotrophic status activates olfaction in search of nutritional sources, mates and oviposition sites. On binding to odorant chemoreceptors and subsequent flight orientation, mosquitoes follow the source of the chemical cues for behavioral response depending on brain odor coding.
