Abstract Salivary gland glycoconjugates in human-feeding insects and arachnids can elicit hypersensitivity reactions. Glycoproteins introduced during blood feeding by arachnid ticks are responsible for red meat allergy or the alpha-gal syndrome. Dengue virus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes incorporates mosquito glycoproteins into its envelope and malaria parasites transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes reportedly express alpha-gal epitopes that are potentially derived from mosquito salivary glands.

Abstract Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, the principal vectors of many human arboviral diseases, lay eggs and undergo preimaginal development in fresh water habitats. They have also recently been found to develop in brackish water in coastal areas. Adult females emerging from brackish water-developing Ae. aegypti larvae are shown to possess thicker cuticles and greater resistance to common insecticides used against adults (adulticides) compared with fresh water Ae. aegypti.
