  abstract = {{T}he evaluation of human immune responses to arthropod bites may be a useful marker of exposure to vector-borne diseases, with applications to malaria, the most serious parasitic infection in humans. {T}he specific antibody ({A}b) {I}g{G} response to saliva obtained from {A}nopheles gambiae mosquitoes was evaluated in young children from an area of seasonal malaria transmission in {S}enegal. {S}pecific {I}g{G} was higher in children who developed clinical {P}lasmodium falciparum malaria within the 3 months that followed than in those who did not ({P}<0.05), and it increased significantly ({P}<0.0001) with the level of {A}nopheles exposure, as evaluated by conventional entomological methods. {T}hese results suggest that evaluation of antisalivary {A}b responses could be a useful approach for identifying a marker for the risk of malaria transmission.
