Abstract
Vector-borne pathogens are known to elicit immune response upon mosquito biting the host which is critically linked to the establishment of infection and pathogenesis of disease, yet the impact of the mosquito bite itself is not immunologically well-appreciated. Here the authors characterize the immune response to the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti in a controlled human in vivo challenge model and show the induction of a range of immune pathways and cell types.
