Abstract Synopsis
- Mosquito bite reactions vary from mild localized itching and swelling to rare systemic responses like anaphylaxis, with the underlying itch caused by saliva components that stimulate immune responses.
- Histamine plays a central role in the itch sensation, activated through multiple pathways including direct saliva effects, IgE-mediated mast cell activation, or non-histaminergic mechanisms involving proteins like tryptase and leukotrienes.
- Prevention focuses on physical barriers and repellents, while treatment typically involves antihistamines and corticosteroids, with ongoing research needed for targeted therapies addressing neural aspects of itch.
