MALDI-TOF MS for malaria vector surveillance: A cost-comparison analysis using a decision-tree approach
Adoption of MALDI-TOF MS for malaria vector surveillance can result in substantial time and cost savings. The ease of performance, the rapid turn-around time, and the modest cost per sample may bring a paradigm shift in routine entomological surveillance in Africa.
