  abstract = {{T}he rapid and reliable identification of arthropod vector species is an essential component of the fight against vector-borne diseases. {H}owever, owing to the lack of entomological expertise required for the morphological identification method, development of alternative and complementary tools is needed. {T}his review describes the main methods used for arthropod identification, focusing on the emergence of protein profiling using {MALDI}-{TOF} {MS} technology. {S}ample preparation, analysis of reproducibility, database creation and blind tests for controlling accuracy of this tool for arthropod identification are described. {T}he advantages and limitations of the {MALDI}-{TOF} {MS} method are illustrated by emphasizing different hematophagous arthropods, including mosquitoes and ticks, the top two main vectors of infectious diseases.},
