An insight into the sialotranscriptome and virome of Amazonian anophelines
Scarpassa, Vera Margarete; Debat, Humberto; Alencar, Ronildo Baiatone; Saraiva, José Ferreira; Calvo, Eric; Arcà, Bruno; Ribeiro, J. M.C.Background: Saliva of mosquitoes contains anti-platelet, anti-clotting, vasodilatory, anti-complement and anti-inflammatory substances that help the blood feeding process. The salivary polypeptides are at a fast pace of evolution possibly due to their relative lack of structural constraint and possibly also by positive selection on their genes leading to evasion of host immune pressure. Results: In this study, ...
A Deep Insight into the Sialome of Rhodnius neglectus, a vector of chagas disease
Santiago, Paula Beatriz; Assumpção, Teresa Cristina França de; Araújo, Carla Nunes de; Bastos, Izabela Marques Dourado; Neves, DavidBackground Triatomines are hematophagous insects that act as vectors of Chagas disease. Rhodnius neglectus is one of these kissing bugs found, contributing to the transmission of this American trypanosomiasis. The saliva of hematophagous arthropods contains bioactive molecules responsible for counteracting host haemostatic, inflammatory, and immuneresponses. Methods/Principal Findings Next generation sequencing...
