Bloodmeal Identification by Direct Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Elisa), Tested on Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) in Kenya12
Abstract
A direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for bloodmeal identification of seven hosts. Commercially available reagents are used; the test can be completed in only 4.5 h. Blood meals can be detected up to 32 h after feeding for dried mosquitoes and up to 23 h for frozen mosquitoes. A two-step procedure, using antihuman peroxidase conjugate and antibovine phosphatase conjugate, was developed to test a single mosquito for two hosts in the same microtiter plate well. The assay was applied to Anopheles gambiae Giles s. lat. and A. funestus Giles collected inside huts in western Kenya; 94% of 4,338 blood meals were identified as either human (88%), cow (4%), or mixed humancow (2%). Additionally, a system was developed whereby a single mosquito could be tested by both the blood meal ELISA and the malaria sporozoite ELISA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
