New York, Dec 18 : Researchers have shown the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) system known as a Convoluted Neural Network to classify mosquito sex, genus, species and strain.
Rapid and accurate identification of mosquitoes that transmit human pathogens such as malaria is an essential part of mosquito-borne disease surveillance, the study published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, reported.
Human malaria is an ongoing public health crisis affecting many continents, with the highest numbers of cases and people at risk in sub-Saharan Africa.
