Salivary gland proteins of the human malaria vector, Anopheles dirus B (Diptera Culicidae) [PDF]
, 2007 Salivary gland proteins of the human malaria vector, Anopheles dirus B were determined and analyzed. The amount of salivary gland proteins in mosquitoes aged between 3--10 days was approximately 1.08 +/- 0.04 microg/female and 0.1 +/- 0.05 microg/male ...

Structural and functional studies of intrinsically disordered fibronectin-binding proteins [PDF]
, 2009 Bacterial fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) mediate adhesion of bacteria to host tissues through binding to the human protein fibronectin (Fn). FnBPs are predicted to contain a series of intrinsically disordered Fn-binding repeats (FnBRs), which ...

May salivary gland secretory proteins from hematophagous leeches (Hirudo verbana) reach pharmacologically relevant concentrations in the vertebrate host? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Saliva of hematophagous leeches (Hirudo sp.) contains bioactive proteins which allow the leech proper feeding and storage of ingested blood, but may also exert effects in the host.

Salivary AsHPX12 influences pre-blood meal associated behavioral properties in Anopheles stephensi
Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2022 Background & objectives: A successful blood meal acquisition process by an adult female mosquito is accomplished through salivary glands, which releases a cocktail of proteins to counteract the vertebrate host’s immune homeostasis.

On The Innervation of Salivary Glands and Treatment of Dry Mouth - An Experimental and Clinical Study [PDF]
, 2009 Detailed knowledge of the innervation of the parotid gland is essential in basic studies on various neuroglandular phenomena as well as in various types of orofacial surgery. The innervation is more complex than usually depicted in Textbooks.
