Odour receptors and neurons for detection of DEET and new insect repellents

There are major impediments to finding improved DEET alternatives because the receptors causing olfactory repellency are unknown, and new chemistries require exorbitant costs to determine safety for human use. Here we identify DEET-sensitive neurons in a pit-like structure in the Drosophila antenna...
