Studies on the applications of infrared (IR) spectroscopy and machine learning (ML) in
public health have increased greatly in recent years. These technologies show enormous …

Spectroscopy-based techniques are emerging diagnostic and surveillance tools for
mosquito-borne diseases. This review has consolidated and summarised recent research in …

Despite the global efforts made in the fight against malaria, the disease is resurging. One of
the main causes is the resistance that Anopheles mosquitoes, vectors of the disease, have …

Background Epidemiological surveys of malaria currently rely on microscopy, polymerase
chain reaction assays (PCR) or rapid diagnostic test kits for Plasmodium infections (RDTs) …

Mosquito control with bednets, residual sprays or fumigation remains the most effective tool
for preventing vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and Zika, though there are no …

Vector control is the mainstay of malaria control programmes. Successful vector control
profoundly relies on accurate information on the target mosquito populations in order to …

Remote sensing describes the characterization of the status of objects and/or the
classification of their identity based on a combination of spectral features extracted from …

An ability to characterize the age of mosquito populations could provide cost-effective and
compelling entomological evidence for the potential epidemiological impacts of vector …

We present a dual‐wavelength polarimetric measurement method to distinguish species
and sexes of disease transmitting mosquitoes in flight. By measuring co‐and de‐polarized …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, noninvasive and cheap method of profiling the
chemical composition of a broad range of sample types. Over the past two decades, it has …
