Artificial intelligence (AI): a new window to revamp the vector-borne disease control.

Parasitology research
Artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates scientists to devise intelligent machines that work and behave like humans to resolve difficulties and problems by utilizing minimal resources. The Healthcare sector has benefited due to this. Mosquito-transmi...

Community-based mosquito surveillance: an automatic mosquito-on-human-skin recognition system with a deep learning algorithm.

Pest management science
BACKGROUND: Public community engagement is crucial for mosquito surveillance programs. To support community participation, one of the approaches is assisting the public in recognizing the mosquitoes that carry pathogens. Therefore, this study aims to...

Mosquito species identification using convolutional neural networks with a multitiered ensemble model for novel species detection.

Scientific reports
With over 3500 mosquito species described, accurate species identification of the few implicated in disease transmission is critical to mosquito borne disease mitigation. Yet this task is hindered by limited global taxonomic expertise and specimen da...

Deep learning approaches for challenging species and gender identification of mosquito vectors.

Scientific reports
Microscopic observation of mosquito species, which is the basis of morphological identification, is a time-consuming and challenging process, particularly owing to the different skills and experience of public health personnel. We present deep learni...

Deep learning identification for citizen science surveillance of tiger mosquitoes.

Scientific reports
Global monitoring of disease vectors is undoubtedly becoming an urgent need as the human population rises and becomes increasingly mobile, international commercial exchanges increase, and climate change expands the habitats of many vector species. Tr...

Delimiting cryptic morphological variation among human malaria vector species using convolutional neural networks.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
Deep learning is a powerful approach for distinguishing classes of images, and there is a growing interest in applying these methods to delimit species, particularly in the identification of mosquito vectors. Visual identification of mosquito species...

A framework based on deep neural networks to extract anatomy of mosquitoes from images.

Scientific reports
We design a framework based on Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network to automatically detect and separately extract anatomical components of mosquitoes-thorax, wings, abdomen and legs from images. Our training dataset consisted of 1500 smart...

Peptide arrays incubated with three collections of human sera from patients infected with mosquito-borne viruses.

F1000Research
Global outbreaks caused by emerging or re-emerging arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are becoming increasingly more common. These pathogens include the mosquito-borne viruses belonging to the and genera. These viruses often cause non-specific ...

Artificial Neural Network applied as a methodology of mosquito species identification.

Acta tropica
There are about 200 species of mosquitoes (Culicidae) known to be vectors of pathogens that cause diseases in humans. Correct identification of mosquito species is an essential step in the development of effective control strategies for these disease...

Trends and advances in image-based mosquito identification and classification using machine learning models: A systematic review.

Computers in biology and medicine
Mosquito-borne diseases, such as Yellow fever, Dengue, and Zika, pose a significant global health threat, causing millions of deaths annually. Traditional mosquito identification methods, reliant on expert analysis, are time-consuming and resource-in...
