Neuronal response of wild-type, Gr22 heterozygous and homozygous mutant mosquitoes when challenged with CO2. (A) Representative recording from capitate peg sensilla in the maxillary palp of wild-type, Gr22 heterozygous and homozygous mutant mosquitoes; Top to bottom: background activity, response to 1% CO2 and response to 10−7 (v/v in paraffin oil) 1-Octen-3-ol. (B) Statistical analysis of background activity, firing frequency of cpA neuron in response to CO2 challenge, and latency of cpA neuron after CO2 challenge. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney test is applied in the statistical analysis with P<0.05 (*), P<0.01 (**) and P<0.001 (***) as significant difference.
