Guianensin, a Simulium guianense salivary protein, has broad anti-hemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties
BackgroundSalivary glands from blood-feeding arthropods secrete several molecules that inhibit mammalian hemostasis and facilitate blood feeding and pathogen transmission. The salivary functions from Simulium guianense, the main vector of Onchocerciasis in South America, remain largely understudied....
