DNA fingerprinting should permit the identification of individual human hosts of haematophagous arthropods, providing epidemiologically useful information, for example, the biting rates on different people and the impact of insecticide-impregnated bednets. Investigations reported here demonstrate that it is possible to extract, amplify and fingerprint human DNA from the bloodmeals of individual female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes kept at 24 degrees C for up to 10-15 h post-ingestion.
