Citizen Science: A Gateway for Innovation in Disease-Carrying Mosquito Management?

Frederic Bartumeus et al. Trends Parasitol. 2018 Sep.

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.
