Deep Learning Algorithms Improve Automated Identification of Chagas Disease Vectors.

Journal of medical entomology
Vector-borne Chagas disease is endemic to the Americas and imposes significant economic and social burdens on public health. In a previous contribution, we presented an automated identification system that was able to discriminate among 12 Mexican an...

Machine-learning model led design to experimentally test species thermal limits: The case of kissing bugs (Triatominae).

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) determines habitat suitability of a species across geographic areas using macro-climatic variables; however, micro-habitats can buffer or exacerbate the influence of macro-climatic variables, requiring links betwe...

Automated identification of Chagas disease vectors using AlexNet pre-trained convolutional neural networks.

Medical and veterinary entomology
The 158 bug species that make up the subfamily Triatominae are the potential vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Despite recent progress in developing a picture-based automated system for identification of triatomin...

Phytophagous, blood-suckers or predators? Automated identification of Chagas disease vectors and similar bugs using convolutional neural network algorithms.

Acta tropica
Correct identification of blood-sucking bugs, such as triatomines, is important because they are vectors of Chagas' disease. Identifying these insects is often difficult for non-specialists. Deep learning is emerging as a solution for automated ident...
