Human sand fly challenge elicits saliva-specific innate and type 1-polarized immunity that promotes Leishmania killing

Maha Abdeladhim, Clarissa Teixeira, Roseanne A. Ressner…·Shaden Kamhawi

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