Sierra Leone tests AI-powered smart trap to track malaria mosquitoes

Ministry of Health, Sierra Leone — Sierra Leone's Ministry of Health, working with the Gates Foundation and China CDC, has launched an AI mosquito surveillance device that snaps images, sorts mosquitoes by species and tallies numbers on its own, instantly. The three-year initiative's first stage kicks off 1 July 2026, arming officials with a real-time activity map to sharpen where vector control efforts land. This automated insect-borne disease monitoring approach could reshape how the country tracks malaria risk.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 2985 entries across 249 countries.
