Researchers have developed a novel vision-language framework utilizing YOLO and Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) to diagnose Dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2) infections in mosquitoes from video data. The system first isolates mosquito regions using YOLO and then aligns visual features with textual prompts in a shared embedding space. This multimodal model achieved 98.54% accuracy and 99.91% sensitivity at the frame level, with complete video-level performance after temporal aggregation. The study highlights the essential role of fine-tuning and CLIP-based representations for this application, suggesting vision-language models are effective for analyzing infection-related biological behaviors from video.
