This study evaluates MALDI-TOF MS for identifying Coleopteran pests, finding it effective for laboratory-reared specimens but with limitations for field-collected samples due to DNA degradation and low peak diversity.

This study uses MALDI-TOF MS to identify freshwater snail species in Mauritania, finding high accuracy and distinct ecological distributions, with Schistosoma haematobium DNA detected in 29.9% of specimens.

This study uses MALDI-TOF MS to distinguish between Biomphalaria snails infected with S. mansoni and uninfected snails, showing spectral differences and potential for rapid diagnosis.

This review evaluates MALDI-TOF MS's role in mosquito-borne disease surveillance, showing its potential for rapid, cost-effective identification of mosquito traits like species, gender, and insecticide resistance.
