WRAIR-Africa monitors for disease threats at African Lion 2025
Vectech is proud to highlight the successful deployment of its AI-powered IDX diagnostic entomology system during the recent African Lion 2025 multinational training exercise. The Vectech IDX played a key role in on-site vector surveillance enabling rapid, accurate identification of disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks to support force health protection.
Vectech’s IDX system was deployed in the field to assist entomologists in analyzing captured vector specimens. IDX is designed to support on-site vector surveillance enabling rapid, accurate identification of disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks to support force health protection.
“We’re honored that our IDX platform contributed to the mission-critical work of biosurveillance at African Lion,” said Tristan Ford, CEO of Vectech. “This application underscores the value of advanced AI tools in supporting force health and operational readiness in complex environments.”
