Hiki i ka USF's AI-Powered Smart Nasquito Trap ke kōkua i ke kaua ʻana i ka laha ʻana o ka malaria a hoʻopakele i nā ola ma nā ʻāina ʻē

Ua hoʻohana nā kānaka noiʻi ma ke Kulanui o South Florida i ka naʻauao hana e hoʻomohala i nā hana ...nā pahele makikame ka manaʻolana e hoʻohana iā lākou ma nā ʻāina ʻē e pale aku i ka laha ʻana o ka malaria.
TAMPA — E hoʻohana ʻia kahi pahele akamai hou e hoʻohana ana i ka naʻauao hana no ka hahai ʻana i nā makika e hoʻolaha ana i ka maʻi malaria ma ʻApelika. ʻO ia ka manaʻo o ʻelua mau kānaka noiʻi mai ke Kulanui o South Florida.
"ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo nā makika nā holoholona make loa ma ka honua. He mau nila hypodermic kēia e hoʻolaha ana i nā maʻi," wahi a Ryan Carney, ke polopeka kōkua o ka ʻepekema kikohoʻe ma ka 'Oihana o Integrative Biology ma ke Kulanui o South Florida.
ʻO ka makika lawe malaria, ʻo Anopheles Stephensi, ke kikowaena o Carney lāua ʻo Sriram Chellappan, nā polopeka o ka ʻepekema kamepiula a me ka ʻenekinia ma ke Kulanui o South Florida. Manaʻolana lākou e hakakā i ka malaria ma nā ʻāina ʻē a hana pū e hoʻomohala i nā pahele akamai a hana akamai e hahai i nā makika. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kēia mau pahele e hoʻohana ʻia ma ʻApelika.
Pehea e hana ai ka pahele akamai: ʻO ka mua, lele nā ​​makika ma loko o ka lua a laila pae ma luna o kahi ʻāpana pipili e huki ai iā lākou. A laila lawe ke kāmela i loko i ke kiʻi o ka makika a hoʻouka i ke kiʻi i ke ao. A laila e holo nā mea noiʻi i kekahi mau algorithms aʻo mīkini ma luna o ia mea e hoʻomaopopo ai i ke ʻano o ka makika a i ʻole kona ʻano kikoʻī. Ma kēia ala, hiki i nā kānaka ʻepekema ke ʻike i kahi e hele ai nā makika i loaʻa i ka malaria.
"He mea koke kēia, a i ka wā e ʻike ʻia ai kahi makika malarial, hiki ke hoʻouna ʻia kēlā ʻike i nā luna olakino lehulehu i ka manawa maoli," wahi a Chelapan. "Loaʻa i kēia mau makika kekahi mau wahi a lākou e makemake ai e hoʻohua. Inā hiki iā lākou ke luku i kēia mau wahi hoʻohua, ʻāina. , a laila hiki ke kaupalena ʻia ko lākou helu ma ka pae kūloko."
"Hiki iā ia ke kāohi i ka laha ʻana o nā maʻi. Hiki iā ia ke kāohi i ka laha ʻana o nā mea lawe maʻi a hoʻopakele i nā ola," wahi a Chelapan.
Hoʻopilikia ka maʻi malaria i nā miliona o ka poʻe i kēlā me kēia makahiki, a ke hana pū nei ke Kulanui o South Florida me kahi keʻena hoʻokolohua ma Madagascar e hoʻonohonoho i nā pahele.
"Ma mua o 600,000 mau kānaka e make ana i kēlā me kēia makahiki. ʻO ka hapa nui o lākou he mau keiki ma lalo o ʻelima mau makahiki," wahi a Carney. "No laila, he pilikia olakino nui a mau ka Malaria ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa."
Ua kālā ʻia ka papahana e kahi haʻawina kālā he $3.6 miliona mai ka National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases o ka National Institutes of Health. ʻO ka hoʻokō ʻana o ka papahana ma ʻApelika e kōkua pū i ka ʻike ʻana i nā makika lawe malaria ma kekahi ʻāina ʻē aʻe.
"Manaʻo wau ʻo nā hihia ʻehiku ma Sarasota (County) e hōʻike maoli ana i ka hoʻoweliweli o ka malaria. ʻAʻohe laha kūloko o ka malaria ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā makahiki he 20 i hala iho nei," wahi a Carney. "ʻAʻohe o mākou Anopheles Stephensi ma ʻaneʻi. .Inā hana ʻia kēia, e ʻike ʻia ma ko mākou kapakai, a e mākaukau mākou e hoʻohana i kā mākou ʻenehana e ʻimi a luku iā ia."
E hana pū ana ʻo Smart Trap me ka pūnaewele nānā honua i hoʻomaka mua ʻia. ʻAe kēia i nā kamaʻāina e kiʻi i nā kiʻi o nā makika a hoʻouka iā lākou ma ke ʻano he ala ʻē aʻe e hahai ai iā lākou. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Carney e hoʻolālā ana ʻo ia e hoʻouna i nā pahele i ʻApelika ma hope o kēia makahiki.
"ʻO kaʻu hoʻolālā e hele i Madagascar a malia paha i Mauritius ma mua o ke kau ua i ka hopena o ka makahiki, a laila i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa e hoʻouna aku a lawe mai i nā mea hou aku o kēia mau mea hana i hiki iā mākou ke nānā i kēlā mau wahi," wahi a Carney.
