Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca, PRIN 2017 – Linea Giovani, LS1: "Stopping mosquito bites through targeting of novel secondary messengers in the insect’s saliva" – Project code 2017RPHBCW_001
Description
The project aimed to stop mosquito bites by identifying and characterizing novel secondary messengers in insect saliva, clarifying the molecular signals that initiate and sustain blood feeding.
Role of our laboratory
Molecular and structural study of previously uncharacterized mosquito salivary messengers that regulate biting behaviour.
