Innovative UAV Applications for Vector Surveillance and Disease Control: A New Horizon

Agus Budiyono, Gaku Masuda

Abstract


As the global public health landscape evolves, the urgency to mitigate and control the spread of infectious diseases is paramount. To enhance our capability in this endeavor, this paper explores the innovative use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in vector surveillance and disease control. We discuss how advanced UAV technologies such as multispectral imaging, spatial data acquisition, real-time monitoring, and precision delivery systems offer a significant opportunity to revolutionize vector-borne disease control strategies. A key focus is on the potential of UAVs in areas of difficult accessibility, real-time data collection, and rapid delivery of preventative measures. We evaluate several case studies and pilot programs that have successfully used UAVs for vector surveillance, including malaria and Zika virus control, thus demonstrating the practical and effective utility of this technology. The paper also examines the challenges, legal, ethical, and socio-technical implications of UAV deployment in public health contexts. The findings underscore the promise of UAVs as a transformative tool in our global disease control arsenal, setting a new horizon for enhanced surveillance, prevention, and control strategies. Further research and policy direction should aim at establishing frameworks for their efficient, safe, and equitable use.
