How AI is joining the fight against mosquito-borne diseases<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Dengue is a mosquito-borne tropical disease that kills about 20,000 people a year and infects hundreds of millions. <br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />TIMBUKTU CONTENT/SC JOHNSON/REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#artificialintelligence <br />#mosquitoes <br />#dengue
