New possibilities for vector-borne disease control are revealed by Duvall et al. (2019), who link host-seeking behavioral modulation in Aedes aegypti to neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like receptor 7. Small-molecule screening yields agonist compounds able to activate NPYLR7 and suppress attraction to hosts.
杜瓦尔等人(2019 年)揭示了控制虫媒传染病的新可能性,他们将埃及伊蚊的宿主寻找行为调节与神经肽 Y(NPY)样受体 7 联系起来。小分子筛选产生了能够激活 NPYLR7 并抑制对宿主吸引力的激动剂化合物。
