  1. aMosquitoes were collected from 1 to 60 h following blood meals and their abdomen protein extracts were submitted to MALDI-TOF MS
  2. bDatabase was composed of MS spectra from abdomen protein extract of An. gambiae S fed either on human, horse, sheep, mouse, rabbit or dog bloods, and from Ae. albopictus specimens fed on human and collected every 12 from 1 to 24 h
  3. cInto brackets are indicated the number of specimens included in each range of LSVs (upper and lower than 1.8), MS results with LSVs lower than 1.8 are italicized
  4. dVertebrate species blood origin are indicated only for specimens with LSVs upper than 1.8. LSVs, log score values
