Evaluating RNAlater® as a preservative for using near-infrared spectroscopy to predict Anopheles gambiae age and species
8 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mosquito age and species identification is a crucial determinant of the efficacy of vector control programmes. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has previously been applied successfully to rapidly, non-destructively, and simultaneously determine the age and species of freshly anesthetized African malaria vectors from the Anopheles gambiae s.l. species complex: An. gambiae s. s. and Anopheles...
