Improvement of mosquito identification by MALDI-TOF MS biotyping using protein signatures from two body parts

Abstract Background Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry technology (MALDI-TOF MS) is an innovative tool that has been shown to be effective for the identification of numerous arthropod groups including mosquitoes. A critical step in the implementation of MALD...
