Chagas disease vector blood meal sources identified by protein mass spectrometry
Fig 1
General workflow describing LC-MS/MS-based and DNA-based identification of blood meal sources.
Insects were dissected into left and right abdomen, and hemoglobin peptides from (A) mouse blood as well as triatomine insect vectors were identified with LC-MS/MS, while (B) triatomine insect vector blood meals were also identified with DNA-based methods for comparison.
