Study Summary
Background: Mosquitoes and similar insects called sand flies carry parasites that can cause diseases. These viruses and parasites can spread quickly and be difficult to control. How people s bodies respond to insect bites may affect how they get infected. The response to bites is caused by the immune system, which helps fight off infections. Researchers want to study the immune response in skin to mosquito or sand fly bites and how the response changes after bites on multiple days. This may help researchers develop better vaccines. Objective: To study the immune response in skin to certain insect bites and how that changes after bites on multiple days. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-64 Design: Participants will be screened under another protocol. Women must agree to practice effective contraception or abstinence. All participants must agree to not donate blood or use certain lotions or creams on visit days. Some participants will have 2 visits over a week. Others will have 5 visits over 8 weeks. All participants will have the following at least once: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine collected Mosquito or sand fly feeding. Up to 10 insects will feed on participant s arm for up to 20 minutes. The insects are grown at NIH and do not carry any diseases. The skin will be checked and bites will be treated. Skin samples taken. The skin will be cleaned and numbed. A tool will remove a small piece of skin from 3 places on the arm. About a week after the last visit, participants will be called to see how they feel.
