(a) Genes associated with chemical reception among multiple insect species. Zootermopsis nevadensis (b) Genes associated with saliva function among multiple insect species. (c) Phylogeny of cathepsin D genes among multiple insect species. Sequences derived from Cimex lectularius (Cl) are denoted with red triangles and those derived from Rhodnius prolixus (Rp) are denoted with orange triangles. Other insect cathepsin D proteins represent those of Triatoma infestans (Ti), Acyrthosiphon pisum (Ap), Anopheles gambiae (Ag), Drosophila melanogaster (Dm), Pediculus humanus corporis (Ph), Apis mellifera (Am), Nasonia vitripennis (Nvi), Tribolium castaneum (Tc), Callosobruchus maculatus (Cm), Sitophilus zeamais (Sz), Chrysomela tremula (Ct), Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Mh), Nematostella vectensis (Nve), Culex quinquefasciatus (Cq) and Aedes aegypti (Aa).
