  abstract = {{A}lthough domestic animals may not be permissive for {P}lasmodium, they could nevertheless play a role in the epidemiology of malaria by attracting {A}nopheles away from humans. {T}o investigate interactions between domestic animals and mosquitoes, we assayed immunoglobulin {G} ({I}g{G}) antibodies directed against the salivary proteins of {A}nopheles gambiae in domestic animals living in {S}enegalese villages where malaria is endemic. {B}y {W}estern blotting, sera from bovines (n = 6), ovines (n = 36), and caprines (n = 36) did not react with {A}nopheles whole saliva. {I}n contrast, equine sera recognized proteins in both saliva and salivary gland extracts. {T}wo of the major immunogens (32 and 72 k{D}a) were also reactive in extracts from other major mosquito genera ({A}edes and {C}ulex), but reactions to {A}nopheles-specific antigens were detected in 12 of 17 horses. {T}hese data suggest that horses strongly react to {A}nopheles bites, and further experiments on horses are warranted to investigate the impact of this domestic animal species on the transmission of human malaria.},
