A fine-tuned vector-parasite dialogue in tsetse’s cardia determines peritrophic matrix integrity and trypanosome transmission success

2017-10-25

Abstract excerpt

Arthropod vectors have multiple physical and immunological barriers that impede the development and transmission of parasites to new vertebrate hosts. These barriers include the peritrophic matrix (PM), a chitinous barrier that separates the blood bolus from the midgut epithelia and inturn, modulates vector-microbiota interactions. In tsetse flies, a sleeve-like PM is continuously produced by the cardia organ loca...
