Vertebrate Responses against Arthropod Salivary Proteins and Their Therapeutic Potential
5 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
The saliva of hematophagous arthropods contains a group of active proteins to counteract host responses against injury and to facilitate the success of a bloodmeal. These salivary proteins have significant impacts on modulating pathogen transmission, immunogenicity expression, the establishment of infection, and even disease severity. Recent studies have shown that several salivary proteins are immunogenic and...
