Intraspecific geographical variability of Phlebotomus perniciosus assessed by MALDI-TOF MS protein profiling
Our findings demonstrate that in samples of a same sex, with the same collection method and storage time, MALDI-TOF MS protein profiling does not reflect the geographical origin of analysed specimens, confirming the value of this technique for high-fidelity and reproducible species identification of sand flies regardless of their geographical origin.
