  abstract = {{W}e developed a molecular assay to detect predation on {A}nopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) mosquitoes. {T}his intergenic spacer ribosomal {DNA} polymerase chain reaction assay and restriction enzyme analysis uses {A}n. gambiae-specific primers to detect mosquito {DNA} in the {DNA} extracts from whole invertebrate predators, which enables identification of species ({A}n. gambiae s.s. versus {A}n. arabiensis) and molecular forms ({M} versus {S} in {A}n. gambiae s.s.). {W}e show that {A}n. gambiae s.l. {DNA} can be detected after ingestion by members of the families {L}estidae (order {O}donata) after four hours, {L}ibellulidae (order {O}donata) after six hours, and {N}otonectidae (order {H}emiptera) after 24 hours. {T}his method is an improvement over previously published methods because of ease of execution and increased time of detection after ingestion.},
