An Insight into the Sialomes of Bloodsucking Heteroptera
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Saliva of bloodsucking arthropods contains dozens or hundreds of proteins that affect their hosts′ mechanisms against blood loss (hemostasis) and inflammation. Because acquisition of the hematophagous habit evolved independently in several arthropod orders and at least twice within the true bugs, there is a convergent evolutionary scenario that creates
