Formatting in-text citation brackets (paranthesis)

Hello,

I want to resolve following situation:

Major classes of olfactory system molecules, which control insect behaviour include odorant-binding proteins (OBPs; (Pelosi et al., 2006; Vogt, 2003; Vogt and Riddiford, 1981; Zhou, 2010), odour receptors ….

where I need to take out teh paraanthesis jut before “Pelosi…”.
As there will be more work on citations, I want to keep CWYW  ON

Who can heltp whats step sto undertake to succeed with this ?
Many thanks !!!
