New monitoring methods of dengue vector and evaluation of public policies on dengue control are major concerns for several tropical countries. Drawback on monitoring methods base on oviposition surveys are the counting process of mosquito eggs, information store and analysis. Here we present a new automated egg counting system for remote Aedes aegypti population survey. The system is base on an optical scanning platform, a man-machine interface, and a software for mosquitoes eggs counting. Acquired information are sent over the internet and remotely analyzed. Prototypes of the device were installed and implement in two different cities.
登革热媒介的新监测方法以及登革热控制公共政策的评估是几个热带国家的主要关注点。基于产卵调查的监测方法的缺点在于蚊卵的计数过程、信息存储和分析。在此,我们展示一种用于远程埃及伊蚊种群调查的新型自动蚊卵计数系统。该系统基于一个光学扫描平台、一个人机界面以及一款用于蚊卵计数的软件。获取的信息通过互联网发送并进行远程分析。该设备的原型已在两个不同城市安装并投入使用。
