UAV-based Delivery of Solid Insecticide
Invention Summary:
Mosquito borne diseases constitute more than half a billion illnesses and over a million deaths yearly. Wide-scale mosquito pesticide and larvicide dispersion (e.g., aerial dispersion) is no longer a viable option due to 1) posing public health concerns, and 2) urban area expansion into mosquito habitats, making mosquito control...

Autodissemination of an Insect-Growth Regulator for Mosquito Management
Invention Summary:
Container mosquitoes are prime public and veterinary health threats. They are the primary vectors of mosquito-borne viruses such as chikungunya, dengue, and zika which can cause illness among the humans. Stagnant water collected in small, squalid spaces form the habitat of these container mosquitoes. Conventional control...
