This study shows that repeated sand fly bites induce immune responses to salivary proteins that enhance Leishmania killing in macrophages.

The paper identifies a neuroimmune response that enables rapid tick removal in guinea pigs and humans, independent of antibodies, offering a new strategy for preventing tick-borne diseases.

The paper develops a serologic assay to measure antibodies against Aedes aegypti salivary proteins D7L1+2 as a marker of vector exposure and finds they correlate with dengue virus infection burden.

This study identifies ULK1's role in bacterial ubiquitylation and p62 recruitment during xenophagy, showing its importance in autophagic clearance of Listeria monocytogenes.

This study evaluates antibody responses to mosquitoes and arboviruses using a multiplexed phage display library to identify epitopes and antigens associated with exposure.

The paper sequences and annotates the genomes of two sand fly species, identifying genes related to vector biology and population structure to aid in leishmaniasis control.
