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 ...
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...

An unmanned aircraft system (UAS; i.e., drone) with an attached multispectral camera was used to quantify accumulated surface water on a 0.54-km tidal marsh that abuts San Francisco Bay, CA, USA. The results of the survey showed unequal accumulation ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
