Hematophagous arthropods are important vectors for vector-borne diseases. The identification of hematophagousarthropods hosts is critical to exploration of vector-borne disease ecology and further control measures. The strategy ofbloodmeal identification is effective to ascertain arthropod hosts. With the development of molecular biology technology,DNA-based methods, which include PCR, DNA sequencing, restriction fragment length polymorphism, reverse line blothybridization, and DNA fingerprinting, enhanced ...
