Age structure and parity status determination of Afrotropical malaria vectors using MALDI-TOF MS

Age structure and parity status determination of Afrotropical malaria vectors using MALDI-TOF MS

Abstract The age structure of a mosquito population helps estimate the proportion of vectors capable of transmitting malaria. Many malaria transmission models rely on mosquito longevity as key parameter. However, these are rarely measured in the field due to lack of a reliable and scalable age-gradi...
