A group of 3 laboratories (Laboratoire Evolution, Génomes, Comportement, Ecologie (EGCE – CNRS/IRD/Univ Paris Sud), Institut d’Ecologie et des Sciences de l’Environnement de Paris (IEES – INRA/CNRS/UPMC/IRD/UPEC/Paris-Diderot) et Institut de Recherche sur la Biologie de l’Insecte (IRBI – CNRS/Univ. François Rabelais) is involved in the international work that led to the publication of the sequence of the genome of the insect vector of Chagas disease Rhodnius prolixus. The 3 french laboratories were more particularly in charge of the study of the genes involved in sensory perception.
This work was published in PNAS.
