2019-05-24
Abstract excerpt
Phlebotomus papatasi sand flies inject their hosts with a myriad of pharmacologically active salivary proteins to assist with blood feeding and to modulate host defenses. These salivary proteins have been studied for their role in cutaneous leishmaniasis disease outcome with different salivary proteins attenuating or exacerbating lesion size. Studies have shown that while co-administered sand fly saliva exacerbate...
