Recent research on skin immunity and the skin microbiome reveals
the complexity of the skin and its importance in the development of
immunity against arthropod-borne diseases. In diseases such as
malaria, borreliosis, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, etc., the
skin interface has been shown as an essential site for pathogens to
hide from the immune system, and as a potential site of
persistence. Only very few vaccines have been successfully
developed so far against these diseases, likely because of an
insufficient understanding on the development of skin immunity
against pathogens. Skin and Arthropod Vectors expands our knowledge
on the role of the skin interface during the transmission of
arthropod-borne diseases and particularly its immunity. This work
may support researchers who strive for developing more efficient
diagnostic tools and vaccines. It also gives scientists and
advanced students working in related areas a better insight on how
humans and animals are attractive to arthropods to develop better
repellents, or to set up transgenic arthropods.
