A deep insight into the sialome of male and female aedes aegypti mosquitoes [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 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 ...

Mimicry in the Bite: Shared Sequences Between Aedes aegypti Salivary Proteins and Human Proteins [PDF]
ProteomesBackground: Molecular mimicry contributes to the development of unwanted responses to self-antigens. Autoimmune phenomena have been observed in diseases caused by Aedes aegypti-transmitted arboviruses, but the occurrence of mimicry between salivary and ...

Engineered Salivary Peptides Reduce Enamel Demineralization Provoked by Cariogenic S. mutans Biofilm
Microorganisms, 2022 Engineering of the acquired enamel pellicle using salivary peptides has been shown to be a promising anticaries strategy. However, the mechanisms by which these peptides protect teeth against tooth decay are not fully understood.
