  abstract = {{A}edes mosquitoes are important vectors of re-emerging diseases in developing countries, and increasing exposure to {A}edes in the developed world is currently a source of concern. {G}iven the limitations of current entomologic methods, there is a need for a new effective way for evaluating {A}edes exposure. {O}ur objective was to evaluate specific antibody responses to {A}edes aegypti saliva as a biomarker for vector exposure in a dengue-endemic urban area. {I}g{G} responses to saliva were strong in young children and steadily waned with age. {S}pecific {I}g{G} levels were significantly higher in persons living in sites with higher {A}e. aegypti density, as measured by using entomologic parameters. {L}ogistic regression showed a significant correlation between {I}g{G} to saliva and exposure level, independently of either age or sex. {T}hese results suggest that antibody responses to saliva could be used to monitor human exposure to {A}edes bites.},
