Figure 6From: Reduction in host-finding behaviour in fungus-infected mosquitoes is correlated with reduction in olfactory receptor neuron responsivenessSingle cell action potential frequencies from ORNs in the capitate peg sensillum of female An. stephensi maxillary palps. A) Response of the small spiking octenol-tuned ORN to 1-octen-3-ol (10 μg); B) response of the larger spiking CO2-tuned ORN to CO2 ; C) response of the small-spiking octenol-tuned ORN to a blend of 1-octen-3-ol (10 μg) and CO2 ; D) response of the large-spiking CO2-tuned ORN to a blend of 1-octen-3-ol (10 μg) and CO2. Spike frequency was assessed during 0.5 s post-stimulus delivery and background spike frequency during the pre-stimulus period was subtracted from the post-stimulus frequency (see Methods text). The bars on the means represent standard errors. In nearly all cases there were n = 6 replicates per odorant per day. Treatments within each of these groups having no letters in common are significantly different at α = 0.05 (Tukey-Kramer adjustment).Back to article page
