The Essential Role of Tick Salivary Glands and Saliva in Tick Feeding and Pathogen Transmission
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 As long-term pool feeders, ticks have developed myriad strategies to remain discreetly but solidly attached to their hosts for the duration of their blood meal. The critical biological material that dampens host defenses and facilitates the flow of blood—

BPI-fold (BPIF) containing/plunc protein expression in human fetal major and minor salivary glands [PDF]
Brazilian Oral Research, 2017 The aim of this study was to determine expression, not previously described, of PLUNC (palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone) (BPI-fold containing) proteins in major and minor salivary glands from very early fetal tissue to the end of the second ...

Oxidative Modification in the Salivary Glands of High Fat-Diet Induced Insulin Resistant Rats
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Still little is known about the role of oxidative stress (OS) in the pathogenesis of the salivary gland dysfunction in the course of insulin resistance (IR). To induce IR rats was fed with a high fat diet (HFD) during 8 weeks.

Tick-borne pathogen detection in midgut and salivary glands of adult Ixodes ricinus
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background The tick midgut and salivary glands represent the primary organs for pathogen acquisition and transmission, respectively. Specifically, the midgut is the first organ to have contact with pathogens during the blood meal uptake, while salivary ...

Physiology, Pathology and Regeneration of Salivary Glands
Cells, 2019 Salivary glands are essential structures in the oral cavity. A variety of diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, infections and physical traumas, can alter the functionality of these glands, greatly impacting the quality of life of patients.

A deep insight into the sialome of male and female aedes aegypti mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2016 Only adult female mosquitoes feed on blood, while both genders take sugar meals. Accordingly, several compounds associated with blood feeding (i.e. vasodilators, anti-clotting, anti-platelets) are found only in female glands, while enzymes associated ...
