Molecular methods for arthropod bloodmeal identification and applications to ecological and vector‐borne disease studies
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
DNA-based methods have greatly enhanced the sensitivity and specificity of hematophagous arthropod bloodmeal identification. A variety of methods have been applied to study the blood-feeding behaviour of mosquitoes, ticks, black flies and other blood-feeding arthropods as it relates to host-parasite interactions and pathogen transmission. Overviews of the molecular techniques used for bloodmeal identification,...
