How AI is joining the fight against mosquito-borne diseases
At the 8th Asian Dengue Summit in Manila from June 15-18, delegates are expected to say how both education and innovation are key to help curb the spread of dengue fever and other mosquito-borne diseases.
Dengue is a mosquito-borne tropical disease that kills about 20,000 people a year and infects hundreds of millions.
At the University of South Florida, researchers are developing a mosquito trap that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to quickly identify the disease-carrying insects. This could be used as an early-warning device for local authorities to alert them of the rise in risk to public health.
