AI framework uses Vision Transformer and GRU for mosquito disease detection

Researchers have developed a novel hybrid framework for detecting mosquito-borne diseases, specifically focusing on identifying dengue virus-infected mosquitoes. The system integrates the YOLO 11M model for initial mosquito identification and background removal, followed by feature extraction using the Vision Transformer (ViT). Classification is then performed by a convolutional GRU (ConvGRU) classifier, which demonstrated superior performance compared to other recurrent neural network models. This ConvGRU-based approach achieved 88.88% accuracy, effectively capturing both spatial features and temporal dependencies in mosquito movements for reliable behavior analysis. AI

IMPACT This hybrid AI framework offers a more accurate method for detecting diseases carried by mosquitoes, potentially improving public health surveillance and control efforts.
