Review
Implication of haematophagous arthropod salivary proteins in host-vector interactions Albin Fontaine, Ibrahima Diouf, Nawal Bakkali, Dorothée Missé, Frédéric Pagès, Thierry Fusai, Christophe Rogier, Lionel Almeras Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:187 (28 September 2011) This review summarises the pharmacological activity and immunogenic properties of salivary proteins characterised in various haematophagous arthropod species and the usefulness of immunogenic salivary molecules to treat allergic reactions to arthropod bites, to improve host protection against vector-borne diseases or to assess host/vector contacts.
