Description
Summary:Accurate identification of mosquito species is essential for effective vector control and mitigation of mosquito-borne disease outbreaks. Traditional morphological identification requires highly specialized personnel and is time-consuming, while molecular techniques can be cost-effective and dependent on comprehensive genetic information. Wing geometric morphometry has emerged as a promising alternative, leveraging detailed geometric measurements of wing shapes and vein patterns to distinguish between species and detect intraspecies variations. This paper presents a curated dataset of 18,104 mosquito wing images, collected from 10,500 mosquito specimens, annotated with extensive meta-information, designed to support research in wing geometric morphometry and the development of machine learning models, ultimately supporting efforts in vector surveillance and research.
