Researchers have been asked to use large field-of-view digital holography to accurately apply 3D tracking to mosquito flight. By capturing the diffraction pattern of mosquitoes in a telecentric volume, the insects flight behaviour will be mathematically recorded, tracked and analysed to speed the development of new vector control products in the fight against malaria.

Optical Surfaces Ltd has been selected by the Optical Engineering Group at the University of Warwick (UK) School of Engineering to supply key focusing optics to enable accurate 3D tracking and analysis of mosquito flight behaviour.
The UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded research project at the University of Warwick will utilise large field-of-view digital holography for accurate 3D tracking of mosquito flight in an elongated flight chamber. Using this video-tracking methodology, researchers will look to accurately quantify the effects on mosquito behaviour of a range of chemicals or devices proposed to eliminate them, thereby providing a valuable insight into their mode of action.
