About MosquitoDetect

A collaborative web platform for ovitrap image collection, manual and AI-assisted mosquito egg annotation, and GIS-based surveillance — purpose-built for public health research on mosquito species.

What is MosquitoDetect?

MosquitoDetect enables field teams to photograph ovitrap substrates, upload them with GPS coordinates and site metadata, and collaboratively annotate mosquito eggs directly in the browser.

A YOLO-based AI pipeline can pre-annotate images on demand, with human review always available. All geotagged images are visualised on an interactive GIS map.
