Since its first report in Anopheles mosquitoes in 1950s, insecticide resistance has spread
very fast to most sub-Saharan African malaria-endemic countries, where it is predicted to …

Background: Entomological surveillance for malaria is inherently resource-intensive and
produces crude population-level measures of vector exposure which are insensitive in low …

The evolution of hematophagy involves a series of adaptations that allow blood-feeding
insects to access and consume blood efficiently while managing and circumventing the …

Talaromyces marneffei is a dimorphic fungus that has emerged as an opportunistic
pathogen particularly in individuals with HIV/AIDS. Since its dimorphism has been …

Background Hard ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites characterized by their long-term
feeding. The saliva that they secrete during their blood meal is their crucial weapon against …

Mosquito salivary glands are well known to facilitate meal acquisition, however the
fundamental question on how adult female salivary gland manages molecular responses …

Background A group of insecticides called pyrethroids has been used extensively worldwide
and development of pyrethroid resistance within mosquito populations, especially in Aedes …

Mosquito salivary proteins play a crucial role in regulating hemostatic responses at the bite
site during blood feeding. In this study, we investigate the function of Anopheles gambiae …

Methods: To demonstrate we utilized a comprehensive in silico and functional genomics
approach. Results: Our dsRNA-mediated silencing experiments demonstrate that salivary …

Understanding changes in mosquito salivary proteins during the time that sporozoite
maturation occurs and after blood feeding may give information regarding the roles of …
