An open source MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry database for the identification of North American tick species of medical and veterinary importance
2025-06-20
Abstract excerpt
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a fast emerging and robust method for rapid and accurate characterization of arthropod vectors. Correct identification of ticks is key in monitoring medically or veterinary relevant species and associated pathogens. It has been extensively used for tick identification based on leg proteins; however, in North...
