IDENTIFICATION OF PHLEBOTOMINE SAND FLIES (DIPTERA: PSYCHODIDAE) BY MATRIX-ASSISTED LASER DESORPTION/IONIZATION TIME OF FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETRY

Identification of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry

Abstract Background Phlebotomine sand flies are incriminated in the transmission of several human and veterinary pathogens.To elucidate their role as vectors, proper species identification is crucial.Since traditional morphological determination is based on minute and often dubious characteristics on schulterblattanastomose their head and genitalia
