AI is joining the fight against mosquito-borne diseases
Scientists at the University of South Florida have developed a new AI-powered mosquito trap that can track the spread of diseases like malaria and dengue fever, giving public health officials crucial, real-time data to monitor and control outbreaks. The device attracts mosquitoes, captures them on a sticky pad, photographs each insect, and uses AI to identify the species. Costing under $150 to produce, the trap is designed for scalable early-warning networks at a moment when climate change is expanding mosquito ranges and driving cases upward, with dengue fever cases alone rising from roughly 500,000 in 2000 to more than five million in 2021.
