Modelling the seasonal dynamics of Aedes albopictus populations using a spatio-temporal stacked machine learning model.

Scientific reports
Various modelling techniques are available to understand the temporal and spatial variations of the phenology of species. Scientists often rely on correlative models, which establish a statistical relationship between a response variable (such as spe...

Automated age grading of female Culex pipiens by an optical sensor system coupled to a mosquito trap.

Parasites & vectors
BACKGROUND: The age distribution of a mosquito population is a major determinant of its vectorial capacity. To contribute to disease transmission, a competent mosquito vector, carrying a pathogen, must live longer than the extrinsic incubation period...

Advanced vision transformers and open-set learning for robust mosquito classification: A novel approach to entomological studies.

PLoS computational biology
Mosquito-related diseases pose a significant threat to global public health, necessitating efficient and accurate mosquito classification for effective surveillance and control. This work presents an innovative approach to mosquito classification by ...

LarvaeCountAI: a robust convolutional neural network-based tool for accurately counting the larvae of Culex annulirostris mosquitoes.

Acta tropica
Accurate counting of mosquito larval populations is essential for maintaining optimal conditions and population control within rearing facilities, assessing disease transmission risks, and implementing effective vector control measures. While existin...

MosquitoSong+: A noise-robust deep learning model for mosquito classification from wingbeat sounds.

PloS one
In order to assess risk of mosquito-vector borne disease and to effectively target and monitor vector control efforts, accurate information about mosquito vector population densities is needed. The traditional and still most common approach to this i...

The fuzzy system ensembles entomological, epidemiological, demographic and environmental data to unravel the dengue transmission risk in an endemic city.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of dengue control interventions depends on an effective integrated surveillance system that involves analysis of multiple variables associated with the natural history and transmission dynamics of this arbovirus. Entomol...

Integrating dynamic models and neural networks to discover the mechanism of meteorological factors on Aedes population.

PLoS computational biology
Aedes mosquitoes, known as vectors of mosquito-borne diseases, pose significant risks to public health and safety. Modeling the population dynamics of Aedes mosquitoes requires comprehensive approaches due to the complex interplay between biological ...

Temperature dependence of mosquitoes: Comparing mechanistic and machine learning approaches.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
Mosquito vectors of pathogens (e.g., Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex spp. which transmit dengue, Zika, chikungunya, West Nile, malaria, and others) are of increasing concern for global public health. These vectors are geographically shifting under climat...

Robust mosquito species identification from diverse body and wing images using deep learning.

Parasites & vectors
Mosquito-borne diseases are a major global health threat. Traditional morphological or molecular methods for identifying mosquito species often require specialized expertise or expensive laboratory equipment. The use of convolutional neural networks ...

AI-driven convolutional neural networks for accurate identification of yellow fever vectors.

Parasites & vectors
BACKGROUND: Identifying mosquito vectors is crucial for controlling diseases. Automated identification studies using the convolutional neural network (CNN) have been conducted for some urban mosquito vectors but not yet for sylvatic mosquito vectors ...
