AGAMaL, Zzapp Malaria develop tool to predict mosquito larvae breeding sites

The AngloGold Malaria Control Programme (AGAMaL) and Zzapp Malaria have created a new tool. This tool predicts where mosquito larvae breed.

The Zzapp Malaria mobile app uses artificial intelligence and geospatial mapping. It helps identify and manage mosquito breeding sites effectively.

With this technology, users can map areas with and without mosquito larvae. This allows for more targeted intervention strategies.

Mr. Ignatius Williams leads Monitoring and Evaluation at AGAMaL. He told The Ghanaian Times that the AI tool has helped reduce malaria prevalence. It is now about one percent in Obuasi and Obuasi East municipalities.
