Immunity to distinct sand fly salivary proteins primes the anti-Leishmania immune response towards protection or exacerbation of disease. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008 Leishmania parasites are transmitted in the presence of sand fly saliva. Together with the parasite, the sand fly injects biologically active salivary components that favorably change the environment at the feeding site.

Bitter-Induced Salivary Proteins Increase Detection Threshold of Quinine, But Not Sucrose.
Chemical Sensors, 2019 Exposures to dietary tannic acid (TA, 3%) and quinine (0.375%) upregulate partially overlapping sets of salivary proteins which are concurrent with changes in taste-driven behaviors, such as rate of feeding and brief access licking to quinine.

ABO blood groups, secretor status, salivary protein, and serum and salivary immunoglobulin concentrations [PDF]
Gut, 1971 Serum and salivary protein and immunoglobulin concentrations have been measured in people of different ABO blood groups and secretor status. The results have confirmed that salivary protein concentrations vary markedly according to an individual's blood group tending to be particularly high in people of group A, but have failed to show any parallel ...

Serosurvey of Human Antibodies Recognizing Aedes aegypti D7 Salivary Proteins in Colombia
Frontiers in Public Health, 2018 Background Dengue is one of the most geographically significant mosquito-borne viral diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. During blood feeding, mosquitoes deposit salivary proteins that induce antibody responses.
