Aedes Mosquito Saliva Modulates Rift Valley Fever Virus Pathogenicity
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a severe mosquito-borne disease affecting humans and domestic ruminants. Mosquito saliva contains compounds that counteract the hemostatic, inflammatory, and immune responses of the host. Modulation of these defensive responses may facilitate virus infection. Indeed, Aedes mosquito saliva played a crucial role in the vector's
