drone system use in fight against Malaria in Zanzibar

The malaria parasite is mainly spread by female Anopheles mosquitoes, which tend to bite at dusk and at night. When an infected mosquito bites a person, it passes the parasites into the bloodstream. Controlling the mosquito larvae is considered a crucial part of malaria eradication, but from the ground it is hard to predict when and where the breeding sites will develop – which makes it hard to find and treat them before the adults emerge. Drone and smartphone technology developed at Aberystwyth University is being used to fight malaria in Tanzania’s semi-autonomous islands of Zanzibar. Can mosquitos be eradicated completely from this world ?
