Research Contributions

Lucas Tirloni has made substantial contributions to the understanding of host-pathogen interactions, particularly involving arthropods such as ticks and fleas. His research has explored various aspects of vector biology, including the role of saliva in arthropod-host-pathogen relationships, the modulation of immune responses by tick-derived proteins, and the identification of inhibitors from insect saliva. Noteworthy studies include investigating the impact of Borrelia burgdorferi on tick saliva protein content and the discovery of a cleavage-resistant thrombin inhibitor from flea saliva.
