| Abstract | ||||
| The insect olfactory system has become a very important model of sensory function, morphology and development. The understanding of the molecular mechanism of insect olfaction will help in the development of insect attractants and repellents for controlling insect pest and vector populations for a wide range of pathogens. This essay aims to explain the importance of understanding how insects 'smell' and how the chemical signals are recognized is useful for many things, but especially for modern pest control in agriculture. | ||||
