At present sour, sugar-free sweets are advised to aid the stimulation of the salivary gland in conjunction with at least 8 glasses of water daily.
These combined approaches provide valuable insights into families of proteins expressed in the salivary gland of the feeding tick.
Salivary gland secretion is reduced; mastication to prepare food is increased, as is the time required to prepare the bolus.
The presence of virus in the salivary gland tissue itself was not explored.
A salivary gland preparation was made from a single 3rd-instar female larva from each cross.
In lateral views, only one salivary gland is visible.
Increased concentrations of salivary gland extracts led to increased amylase activity (fig. 2).
Presumably, the salivary gland secretion contains some other substances capable of stimulating cell enlargement.
