1.	Photophobia (Light Sensitivity) 01/01/1982 - "The compound eye of worker honeybees with a genetic interruption of the ommochrome synthesis from tryptophan (mutations snow an laranja) showed a sharp increase in light sensitivity, more than 100-fold in snow and more than 10-fold in laranja with respect to the wild bee eye. "
2.	Malaria 01/01/2018 - "Xanthurenic acid (XA), a waste product of the ommochrome synthesis pathway, has been shown to induce exflagellation during microgametogenesis in vitro; however, it currently remains unclear whether endogenous XA affects the infectivity of anopheline mosquitoes to malaria parasites in vivo due to the lack of appropriate experimental systems such as a XA-deficient line. "
3.	Conjunctivitis 09/01/1995 - "Both the pink-eye and red-eye mutations appear to involve defects in the transport into or assembly of pigments in the membrane-bound pigment granules rather then defects in ommochrome synthesis." 09/01/1995 - "Mosquitoes with two different mutant alleles at the X-linked pink-eye locus (p, which confers a pink eye color, and pw, which confers a white eye phenotype in homozygotes or hemizygous males) have normal levels of ommochrome precursors but no detectable xanthommatins.
