Comparison of MALDI-TOF MS spectra from heads, legs and thoraxes of Aedes aegypti (Bora) and Anopheles coluzzii (Dkr) homogenized using distinct methods. Representative MS spectra from heads (red), legs (green) and thoraxes (blue) of Ae. aegypti (Bora) (a) and An. coluzzii (Dkr) (b) are shown. MS spectra from two distinct specimens per body part and homogenization method were obtained using FlexAnalysis v3.4 software. Abbreviations: a.u., Arbitrary units; MALDI-TOF MS, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry; m/z, mass-to-charge ratio
