Imagine a world where mosquitoes don’t ruin summer nights or spread deadly diseases. Chinese researchers are making that vision a reality with a game-changing AI-powered surveillance system designed to outsmart disease-carrying mosquitoes! 🚀
A team led by Professor Chen Xiaoguang at Southern Medical University has created an intelligent monitoring network that’s already slashing mosquito populations in Guangdong Province. By combining human-mimicking traps and smart water buckets, this tech tracks both hungry mosquitoes and egg-laying ones – like a 24/7 mosquito surveillance squad! 🕵️♂️
"Our dual-device system works like a high-tech tag team," Chen told reporters. "It’s four times more efficient than old methods and sends real-time alerts to health teams via the cloud." ☁️
During field tests, the system detected mosquito surges faster than ever, triggering targeted disinfection campaigns that reduced adult mosquito numbers by 40% in key areas. 💥 No more waiting days for manual trap data – communities now get instant warnings!
With deployments expanding across Foshan City, this innovation could be a blueprint for fighting diseases like chikungunya worldwide. As Chen puts it: "We’re turning the tide against mosquito-borne threats – one smart device at a time." 🌏🔬
