Comparative salivary gland transcriptomics of sandfly vectors of visceral leishmaniasis
15 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immune responses to sandfly saliva have been shown to protect animals against Leishmania infection. Yet very little is known about the molecular characteristics of salivary proteins from different sandflies, particularly from vectors transmitting visceral leishmaniasis, the fatal form of the disease. Further knowledge of the repertoire of these salivary proteins will give us insights into the...
