Remote Categorization Of Mosquitoes: A New Sensor Prototype

In the recent years, different types of sensors have been developed for the automatic categorization of mosquitoes. Most of them have been only tested in laboratory conditions so there is a lack of studies in the field. In this study, a new sensor prototype linked to a mosquito trap was tested in the field for the automatic counting and sex categorization of mosquitoes. The sensor showed a strong linear relationship between the real and the estimated values, being useful to evaluate tendencies in mosquito populations of public health importance.
