    Effects of Aedes aegypti salivary components on dendritic cell and lymphocyte biology

    by Bruna Bizzarro, Michele S Barros, Ceres Maciel, Daniele I Gueroni, Ciro N Lino, Júlia Campopiano, Michalis Kotsyfakis, Gustavo P Amarante-Mendes, Eric Calvo, Margareth L Capurro, et al.

    Saliva is a key element of interaction between hematophagous mosquitoes and their vertebrate hosts. In addition to allowing a successful blood meal by neutralizing or delaying hemostatic responses, the salivary cocktail is also able to modulate the effector mechanisms of host immune responses facilitating, in turn, the transmission of several types of microorganisms. Understanding how the mosquito uses its salivary components to circumvent host immunity might help to clarify the mechanisms of transmission of such pathogens and disease establishment.
