Lights, camera, and action : vertebrate skin sets the stage for immune cell interaction with arthropod-vectored pathogens by Chong, Shu Zhen., Evrard, Maximilien., Ng, Lai Guan.

“…Such diseases are vectored by hematophagous arthropods that deposit pathogens into the vertebrate host’s skin during a blood meal. These pathogens spend a substantial amount of time in the skin that allows for interaction with cutaneous immune cells, suggesting a window of opportunity for development of vaccine strategies. …”
