AI Mosquito & Vector Identification for Global Health Programs
Accurate species identification for low-resourced or remote regions without access to trained entomologists.
Our system provides professional-grade accuracy on wild-caught mosquito and tick specimens. IDX supports vector surveillance for major tick and mosquito borne diseases including African tick bite fever, East Coast fever, Tick-borne encephalitis virus, dengue, malaria, West Nile virus, Rift Valley fever, Chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, and other pathogens. With each new species added, IDX grows stronger—building a global, community-driven early warning network to support outbreak prevention.
