A microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for identifying mosquito blood meals is described. Antisera for the assay were prepared in rabbits and guinea pigs and purified by precipitation with cross-reacting blood sera. Positive blood source identifications were made to the generic level using as little as 58 .mu.g of ingested blood serum. The blood meals of 37 of 38 laboratory mosquitoes fed on 7 host animals were correctly identified, including a mosquito that contained a double feed. [Host animals tested were red fox (Vulpes fulva), grey fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), dog (Canis familiaris), chipmunk (Tamias striatus), grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), striped ground squirrel (Citellus tridecemlineatus) and woodchuck (Marmota monax).].
