Rhodnius neglectus Transcriptome or Gene expression

Hematophagous arthropods saliva is composed by complex bioactive molecules that counteract their host's hemostasis, inflammation and immunity. Rhodnius neglectus is a kissing bug found in the Brazilian Savanna that eventually invades human dwellings, contributing to Chagas disease transmission. Modern sequencing techniques allow vast transcriptome analysis, expanding our knowledge about the biochemical complexity of insect saliva.
