Citizen Science: A Gateway for Innovation in Disease-Carrying Mosquito Management?
Abstract
Traditional methods for tracking disease-carrying mosquitoes are hitting budget constraints as the scales over which they must be implemented grow exponentially. Citizen science offers a novel solution to this problem but requires new models of innovation in the public health sector.
Keywords: citizen science; disease vectors; innovation; mosquitoes; public health.
