Machine Learning Models Predict Dengue Outbreaks Using Microclimate Data in Malaysian Hotspot
Scientists are using artificial intelligence to predict dengue fever outbreaks weeks in advance. By analyzing microclimatic conditions in a Malaysian hotspot, machine learning models can forecast mosquito abundance and virus presence with significant accuracy.
Breakthrough in Dengue Prediction
Researchers have developed sophisticated machine learning models that can predict dengue fever risk indicators and mosquito populations using microclimatic variables, according to a recent study published in Scientific Reports. The research conducted in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia—a known dengue hotspot—demonstrates how artificial intelligence could revolutionize early warning systems for vector-borne diseases.
