for Professionals
Identify Vectors with AI
IDX
The world’s first AI diagnostic entomology system
Identify 43+ mosquito species and 17+ tick species with AI
Insect pests transmit disease, harm agriculture, and cause economic loss. Information on damaging pests like mosquitoes help pest control organizations detect threats early and customize interventions to achieve the best possible outcomes.
700K

Who We Are
We founded Vectech after learning about the need for better entomological data to inform targeted interventions during the Zika epidemic.
Today, our interdisciplinary team of engineers, computer scientists, public health professionals, and entomologists make Vectech one of the most innovative companies in pest information.
Over the past four years, our team has been reducing the training and expertise required to identify specimens.
These approaches have potential to revolutionize mosquito control practice by reducing the cost to perform surveillance, reducing the training and expertise required to identify specimens, and providing more standardized mosquito species data.
