متن کاملNeuroendocrine control of ionic homeostasis in blood-sucking insects.
The pioneering work of Simon Maddrell established that the rapid postprandial diuresis of the haematophagous insect Rhodnius prolixus is controlled by a diuretic hormone and demonstrated the role of the Malpighian tubules in meeting the volumic, osmotic and ionic challenges posed by an enormous blood meal. A number of diuretic and antidiuretic hormones that control secretion of primary urine by...
متن کاملPharmacologically Active Compounds in Tick Salivary Glands
Ticks are obligate blood-feeding arthropods. To feed successfully, ticks inject saliva into the feeding lesion in the host skin. Tick saliva contains a wide array of pharmacologically active compounds that counteract host defense systems (hemostasis, inflammation, immune responses) and ensure successful feeding and survival of the ectoparasites. The structural-functional relationships of some o...
متن کاملRestoring the function of salivary glands.
Salivary gland destruction occurs as a result of various pathological conditions such as radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and Sjögren's syndrome. As saliva possesses self-cleaning and antibacterial capability, hyposalivation is known to deteriorate dental caries and periodontal disease. Furthermore, hyposalivation causes mastication and swallowing problems, burning sensation of the mo...
متن کاملWhy do insects bite? A review of blood sucking behaviour.
Introduction There is considerable variation in the extent of the association between a blood sucking insect and its host. Blood sucking Diptera such as mosquitoes are temporary ectoparasites, only visiting the host for long enough to obtain a blood meal. Temporary ectoparasites such as tsetse flies, tabanids and mosquitoes tend to take relatively large blood meals, thus limiting the danger fro...
