Optimization of preservation conditions for the detection of adenosine deaminase isolated from salivary glands of field-collected aedes albopictus / Nurul Syahida Syamira Rusdi

Dengue fever, caused by dengue virus (DENV) is a public health concern since it was first recognized in the 1780s. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) presents abundantly in the salivary glands of Aedes albopictus, the secondary vector of DENV. It is a protein essential for viral transmission into a human hos...

It is a protein essential for viral transmission into a human host following the blood-feeding process.

Improper sample collection and handling might cause sample degradation leading to false detection of relevant proteins.
