Effect of geographical origin on mosquito identification per body part. LSVs from MS spectra of field-collected mosquito species: a An. gambiae s.s. (Bra), b An. coluzzii (Tib), c Ae. albopictus (Dsg), d Ae. aegypti (Oia) against DB2 (pink) and DB3 (blue). Significant differences of LSVs obtained between DB2 and DB3 per species and body part are indicated (Mann–Whitney test). Dashed line represents the threshold values (LSV ≥ 1.8) for relevant identification. All samples were homogenized using TL mode. Abbreviation: ns, Not significant
