Immunity to LuloHya and Lundep, the salivary spreading factors from Lutzomyia longipalpis, protects against Leishmania major infection.

Salivary components from disease vectors help arthropods to acquire blood and have been shown to enhance pathogen transmission in different model systems.Here we show that two salivary enzymes from Lutzomyia longipalpis have a synergist effect that facilitates a more efficient blood meal intake and diffusion of other sialome components.We have prev
