🦟 Can a mosquito’s buzz help predict the next outbreak?⁣ ⁣ In Hungary, researchers are combining citizen science, fieldwork and artificial intelligence to monitor mosquito species — including the invasive Asian tiger mosquito.⁣ ⁣ The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is an invasive species found in parts of Europe.⁣ ⁣ Mosquitoes can transmit diseases including dengue, malaria, Zika and West Nile fever.⁣ ⁣ Volunteers record mosquito sounds using a mobile app, while researchers use laboratory recordings to train AI models to identify species by their wingbeats.⁣ ⁣ The goal: build a faster way to track disease-carrying mosquitoes and understand where they are spreading.⁣ ⁣ Scientists hope automated sound identification can make mosquito surveillance faster and help track disease-carrying species.⁣ ⁣ #Mosquitoes #AI #Science #Hungary
