Sand Fly Salivary Proteins Induce Strong Cellular Immunity in a Natural Reservoir of Visceral Leishmaniasis with Adverse Consequences for Leishmania

TL;DR: Certain sand fly salivary proteins are potent immunogens obligatorily co-deposited with Leishmania parasites during transmission and their inclusion in an anti-Leishmania vaccine would exploit anti-saliva immunity following an infective sand fly bite and set the stage for a protective anti- leishmania immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LJM11 confers protective immunity against Leishmania major infection and correlates with a strong induction of a delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response following exposure to L. longipalpis saliva.
