Targeting Plasmodium ligands on mosquito salivary glands and midgut with a phage display peptide library
(2001-11-06)
Despite vast efforts and expenditures in the past few decades, malaria continues to kill millions of persons every year, and new approaches for disease control are urgently needed. To complete its life cycle in the mosquito, ...
Characterization of Guinea Pig Antibody Responses to Salivary Proteins of Triatoma infestans for the Development of a Triatomine Exposure Marker
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Salivary proteins of Triatoma infestans elicit humoral immune responses in their vertebrate hosts. These immune responses indicate exposure to triatomines and thus can be a useful epidemiological tool to estimate triatomine ...
An Updated Insight into the Sialotranscriptome of Triatoma infestans: Developmental Stage and Geographic Variations
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in South America. As in all hematophagous arthropods, its saliva contains a complex cocktail that assists blood feeding by preventing platelet aggregation and blood ...
Allergy to hematophagous arthropods bites
(2014)
Allergies to hematophagous arthropod bites are inflammatory reactivity to arthropods salivary components. They vary in intensity and quality dependent upon the arthropod species and the individual immune response to specific ...
Acquired pellicle engineering with proteins/peptides: Mechanism of action on native human enamel surface
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-04-01)
Objective: This study investigated the mechanism of action of different proteins/peptides (separately or in combination), focusing on how they act directly on the native enamel surface and on modifying the salivary pellicle. ...
