Member Symposium

Arthropod Saliva: Role in Blood Feeding and Pathogen Transmission

On-Demand

On-Demand

Saliva from blood feeding arthropods represents a vast resource of bioactive compounds that facilitate feeding, potentiate pathogen transmission and can be targeted as vaccines against vector-borne diseases. This symposium will bring together vector biologists to explore new areas of investigation in the field of arthropod saliva under a single meeting.
