An autoencoder and artificial neural network-based method to estimate parity status of wild mosquitoes from near-infrared spectra.
After mating, female mosquitoes need animal blood to develop their eggs. In the process of acquiring blood, they may acquire pathogens, which may cause different diseases in humans such as malaria, zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Therefore, knowing the parity status of mosquitoes is useful in control...
