Intelesense technology has been deployed in Thailand as part of a collaborative research project between Mahidol University's Center for Vectors and Vector Borne Diseases and the University of Hawaii's Asia-Pacific Institute for Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Center for Conservation Research and Training, and UH NSF IGERT Project: Integrating Ecology, Conservation, and Pathogen Biology.
Understanding Vector-Borne Disease
An Intelesense Weather Station has been deployed as the first step in a research and monitoring project investigating the vector-borne disease emergence, with a specific focus on dengue fever, which has been on the rise throughout Southeast and South Asia . Researchers are interested in studying the relationship of rainfall, temperature and humidity change to both changes in mosquito abundance as well as disease incidence.
