Real-time dispersal of malaria vectors in rural Africa monitored with lidar (Publications)
observation of mosquito behavior with high spatio-temporal resolution limits progress towards improved malaria vector control. We deployed a high-resolution entomological lidar to monitor a half-kilometer static [...] this study demonstrate how lidar-based monitoring could dramatically improve our understanding of malaria vector ecology and control options.
