About this tool
Description

This is a community-based surveillance and education app addressing mosquito-borne diseases. Specifically, it is used to identify syndromes consistent with Aedes-borne diseases (dengue, chikungunya, and Zika), track day-biting mosquito activity, and provide a platform for message dissemination on risk, prevention, and control.


Has potential to identify early onset of Aedes-borne disease outbreaks if there is a significant user base in low-transmission areas and can be used to track trends in high-transmission areas.
