In Sri Lanka alone, the number of dengue cases has been substantial in recent years, with more than 150000 cases and 440 dengue deaths reported in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The project Fighting Dengue Fever with Aerial Drones is about detecting breeding places using drones. The task of the drone is to identify if the water is indeed a potential breeding place and whether or not it contains mosquito larvae. Once a breeding place with mosquito larvae is detected, the public health authorities and building owners will be informed to ensure removal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalfutures.kth.se\/research\/diversity-and-inclusion\/fighting-dengue-fever-with-aerial-drones\/\">Read more about the project Fighting Dengue Fever with Aerial Drones\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the recorded presentation at the Digitalize in Stockholm 2023 event:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BREAKOUT 6 - AI for Environment: Fighting Dengue Fever with Aerial Drones\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RuAiRJrcVpM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
