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...

An autoencoder and artificial neural network-based method to estimate parity status of wild mosquitoes from near-infrared spectra.

PloS one
After mating, female mosquitoes need animal blood to develop their eggs. In the process of acquiring blood, they may acquire pathogens, which may cause different diseases in humans such as malaria, zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Therefore, knowing th...

Classification and Morphological Analysis of Vector Mosquitoes using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Scientific reports
Image-based automatic classification of vector mosquitoes has been investigated for decades for its practical applications such as early detection of potential mosquitoes-borne diseases. However, the classification accuracy of previous approaches has...

AI- modelling of molecular identification and feminization of wolbachia infected Aedes aegypti.

Progress in biophysics and molecular biology
BACKGROUND: The genetic control strategies of vector borne diseases includes the replacement of a vector population by "disease-refractory" mosquitoes and the release of mosquitoes with a gene to control the vector's reproduction rates. Wolbachia are...

Using mid-infrared spectroscopy and supervised machine-learning to identify vertebrate blood meals in the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: The propensity of different Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans instead of other vertebrates influences their capacity to transmit pathogens to humans. Unfortunately, determining proportions of mosquitoes that have fed on humans, i.e. Hum...

Application of convolutional neural networks for classification of adult mosquitoes in the field.

PloS one
Dengue, chikungunya and Zika are arboviruses transmitted by mosquitos of the genus Aedes and have caused several outbreaks in world over the past ten years. Morphological identification of mosquitos is currently restricted due to the small number of ...

HECIL: A Hybrid Error Correction Algorithm for Long Reads with Iterative Learning.

Scientific reports
Second-generation DNA sequencing techniques generate short reads that can result in fragmented genome assemblies. Third-generation sequencing platforms mitigate this limitation by producing longer reads that span across complex and repetitive regions...

Modeling Dengue vector population using remotely sensed data and machine learning.

Acta tropica
Mosquitoes are vectors of many human diseases. In particular, Aedes ægypti (Linnaeus) is the main vector for Chikungunya, Dengue, and Zika viruses in Latin America and it represents a global threat. Public health policies that aim at combating this v...

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...
