Mosquito project uses machine learning and automation to reduce disease
Mosquito species spread infectious diseases that affect hundreds of humans across the globe. They breed rapidly in shallow water patches, making them hard to control. However, businesses are now responding to their threat. At Springwise we have seen drones as just one example of mosquito control. The Debug Project by Verily is using another method. It involves releasing sterile male mosquitos into the wild. Some mosquitos are naturally infected by a bacteria called Wolbachia, which makes them infertile. The males still want to mate, however, and will seek out females. Female mosquitos can’t detect infertile males and will still mate…
