Applying MALDI-TOF MS to resolve morphologic and genetic similarities between two Dermacentor tick species of public health importance [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) have been historically identified by morphological methods which require highly specialized expertise and more recently by DNA-based molecular assays that involve high costs.
