MALDI-TOF MS spectra of whole mosquito specimens at the L3 stage from six different species ranging from 2 to 20 kDa. (A) A representative spectra from biological replicates performed in quadruplicate of each mosquito species is shown. The mosquito species is indicated in the right corner of each protein profile spectrum. a.u., arbitrary units; m/z, mass-to-charge ratio; L3, larval stage 3. (B) Dendrogram of MALDI-TOF MS spectra from the six mosquito species. Each species is represented by 2 distinct specimens. Distance unit correspond to the relative similarity calculated from the distance matrix.
