A deep convolutional neural network for classification of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes [PDF]
Monitoring the spread of disease-carrying mosquitoes is a first and necessary step to control severe diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika or yellow fever. Previous citizen science projects have been able to obtain large image datasets with linked geo-tracking information.

Estimating the impact of city-wide Aedes aegypti population control: An observational study in Iquitos, Peru. [PDF]
During the last 50 years, the geographic range of the mosquito Aedes aegypti has increased dramatically, in parallel with a sharp increase in the disease burden from the viruses it transmits, including Zika, chikungunya, and dengue.

mAedesID: Android Application for Aedes Mosquito Species Identification using Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
Vector-Borne Disease (VBD) is an infectious disease transmitted through the pathogenic female Aedes mosquito to humans and animals. It is important to control dengue disease by reducing the spread of Aedes mosquito vectors. Community awareness plays acrucial role to ensure Aedes control programmes and encourages the communities to involve active ...

Mapping of Aedes albopictus abundance at a local scale in Italy [PDF]
Given the growing risk of arbovirus outbreaks in Europe, there is a clear need to better describe the distribution of invasive mosquito species such as Aedes albopictus. Current challenges consist in simulating Ae. albopictus abundance, rather than its

Insecticide susceptibility of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Central Africa [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundAedes aegypti(Linnaeus, 1762) andAedes albopictus(Skuse, 1894) are the main vectors of dengue (DENV) and chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses worldwide. As there is still no vaccine or specific treatment for DENV and CHIKV, vector control remains the cornerstone of prevention and outbreak control.
