Scientists have developed a new method to combat the spread of infectious diseases such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever by using artificial intelligence to map mosquito populations more precisely. Led by geoinformation scientists from Heidelberg University, an international research team analyzed satellite and street view images to detect and map possible breeding sites in cities, which can be a significant predictor for the number of eggs and larvae measured in traps. This approach overcomes the limitations of manual field measurements and provides a more targeted disease control.
