Curitiba, PR drones mosquito nest health inspections

In Progress

The Curitiba Municipal Health Department (SMS) is using drones to conduct health inspections over difficult terrain such as walled vacant lots, tall buildings, and large company facilities. The SMS agents use drones to capture images and identify areas at high-risk for becoming mosquito breeding sites. The drone surveillance helps reinforce City Hall's actions in the fight against mosquitos that transmit serious diseases such as dengue, zyka and chikungunya.
