Sensory Discrimination of Blood and Floral Nectar by Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes.

Abstract:

:Blood-feeding mosquitoes survive by feeding on nectar for metabolic energy but require a blood meal to develop eggs. Aedes aegypti females must accurately discriminate blood and nectar because each meal promotes mutually exclusive feeding programs with distinct sensory appendages, meal sizes, digestive tract targets, and metabolic fates. We investigated the syringe-like blood-feeding appendage, the stylet, and discovered that sexually dimorphic stylet neurons taste blood. Using pan-neuronal calcium imaging, we found that blood is detected by four functionally distinct stylet neuron classes, each tuned to specific blood components associated with diverse taste qualities. Stylet neurons are insensitive to nectar-specific sugars and respond to glucose only in the presence of additional blood components. The distinction between blood and nectar is therefore encoded in specialized neurons at the very first level of sensory detection in mosquitoes. This innate ability to recognize blood is the basis of vector-borne disease transmission to millions of people worldwide.

  • 5-HT modulates protein synthesis and the expression of specific proteins during long-term facilitation in Aplysia sensory neurons.

    abstract::Long-term, but not short-term, facilitation induced by 5-HT in Aplysia sensory neurons is blocked by application of inhibitors of protein synthesis or RNA synthesis during the 1.5 hr training period. These findings suggest that genes and proteins not needed for the short-term process are required for long-term facilit...
