Table 1 List of garages that trade used tires along the highways of Panama selected to identify eggs of Aedes mosquitoes with the MALDI-TOF-MS technique. The resulting outcome of species identification is compared to traditional methods of mosquito surveillance including active surveillance (AS) and oviposition traps (OVT). Additional details about each sampling site are provided in Fig. 1, Additional file 1: Table S1 and Additional file 3: Figure S1
