Comparison of LSVs obtained following a reference TP database query with MS spectra of An. gambiae Giles fed on cow and goat blood. All specimens were collected 12 hours after feeding and stored up to 90 days (D). The mosquito abdominal proteins crushed on WFPs were stored under three different conditions: -20°C, + 4°C and room temperature. The dashed line represents the threshold value for relevant identification (LSVs >1.8). LSV, log score value.
