Sialotranscriptome of Simulium pertinax and functional characterization of SpVaP: a novel recombinant simuliid-specific vasodilator.
The salivary glands of hematophagous arthropods possess a remarkable molecular diversity, reflecting evolutionary adaptations to blood feeding lifestyle and vector-host interactions. In this study, we characterized the salivary-gland transcriptome of adult female Simulium pertinax, a medically important black fly speci...
