Functional and structural similarities of D7 proteins in the independently-evolved salivary secretions of sand flies and mosquitoes

The habit of blood feeding evolved independently in many insect orders of families. Sand flies and mosquitoes belong to separate lineages of blood-feeding Diptera and are thus considered to have evolved the trait independently. Because of this, sand fly salivary proteins differ structurally from tho...
