Msampha wa Udzudzu Wanzeru wa USF Wogwiritsa Ntchito AI Ungathandize Kulimbana ndi Kufalikira kwa Malungo ndi Kupulumutsa Miyoyo Kumayiko Ena

Ofufuza ku yunivesite ya South Florida agwiritsa ntchito luntha lochita kupanga kuti apangemisampha ya udzudzundi chiyembekezo chogwiritsa ntchito mankhwalawa kunja kwa dziko kuti apewe kufalikira kwa malungo.
TAMPA — Msampha watsopano wanzeru wogwiritsa ntchito luntha lochita kupanga udzagwiritsidwa ntchito kutsata udzudzu womwe ukufalitsa malungo ku Africa. Ndi lingaliro la ofufuza awiri ochokera ku University of South Florida.
"Ndikutanthauza kuti, udzudzu ndi nyama zoopsa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Izi kwenikweni ndi singano zoteteza khungu zomwe zimafalitsa matenda," anatero Ryan Carney, pulofesa wothandizira wa sayansi ya digito mu Dipatimenti ya Biology Yophatikizana ku University of South Florida.
Udzudzu wonyamula malungo, Anopheles Stephensi, ndi womwe Carney ndi Sriram Chellappan, aphunzitsi a sayansi ya makompyuta ndi uinjiniya ku University of South Florida amaika patsogolo. Akuyembekeza kulimbana ndi malungo kunja kwa dziko ndikugwirira ntchito limodzi kuti apange misampha yanzeru komanso yopangira nzeru kuti itsatire udzudzu. Misampha iyi ikukonzekera kugwiritsidwa ntchito ku Africa.
Momwe msampha wanzeru umagwirira ntchito: Choyamba, udzudzu umauluka kudzera m'dzenje kenako n’kugwera pa bolodi lomata lomwe limaukoka. Kamera yomwe ili mkati mwake imajambula chithunzi cha udzudzuwo ndikuyika chithunzicho mumtambo. Ofufuzawo adzayendetsa ma algorithms angapo ophunzirira makina kuti amvetse mtundu wa udzudzuwo kapena mtundu wake weniweni. Mwanjira imeneyi, asayansi adzatha kupeza komwe udzudzu wogwidwa ndi malungo umapita.
"Izi zimachitika nthawi yomweyo, ndipo udzudzu wa malungo ukapezeka, uthengawo ukhoza kutumizidwa kwa akuluakulu azaumoyo nthawi yomweyo," adatero Chelapan. "Udzudzu uwu uli ndi madera ena omwe umakonda kuswana. Ngati ungawononge malo oswaniranawa, ndiye kuti chiwerengero chawo chikhoza kuchepetsedwa m'deralo."
"Zingathe kuchepetsa kuphulika kwa mabakiteriya. Zingathe kuchepetsa kufalikira kwa mabakiteriya ndipo pamapeto pake kupulumutsa miyoyo," anatero Chelapan.
Malungo amakhudza anthu mamiliyoni ambiri chaka chilichonse, ndipo University of South Florida ikugwira ntchito ndi labotale ku Madagascar kuti ipange misampha.
"Anthu opitilira 600,000 amafa chaka chilichonse. Ambiri mwa iwo ndi ana osakwana zaka zisanu," adatero Carney. "Chifukwa chake malungo ndi vuto lalikulu la thanzi padziko lonse lapansi."
Pulojekitiyi ikuthandizidwa ndi ndalama zokwana $3.6 miliyoni kuchokera ku National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health. Kukhazikitsidwa kwa pulojekitiyi ku Africa kudzathandizanso kuzindikira udzudzu womwe uli ndi malungo m'dera lina lililonse.
"Ndikuganiza kuti milandu isanu ndi iwiri ku Sarasota (County) ikuwonetsadi kuopsa kwa malungo. Sipanakhalepo kufalikira kwa malungo m'deralo ku United States m'zaka 20 zapitazi," adatero Carney. "Tilibe Anopheles Stephensi pano pano. .Ngati izi zitachitika, zidzawonekera m'mphepete mwathu, ndipo tidzakhala okonzeka kugwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo wathu kuti tipeze ndikuwononga."
Smart Trap idzagwira ntchito limodzi ndi tsamba lawebusayiti lapadziko lonse lapansi lotsatirira lomwe latulutsidwa kale. Izi zimathandiza nzika kujambula zithunzi za udzudzu ndikuziyika ngati njira ina yotsatirira. Carney adati akukonzekera kutumiza misampha ku Africa kumapeto kwa chaka chino.
"Dongosolo langa ndikupita ku Madagascar mwina ku Mauritius mvula isanayambe kumapeto kwa chaka, kenako pakapita nthawi tidzatumiza ndikubweretsa zida zina kuti tithe kuyang'anira madera amenewo," adatero Carney.
