Description

Experiments for determination of species of field-collected lab-rared mosquitoes using near-infrared spectroscopy (A1T1)

This dataset contains near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements on mosquitoes of different species (Anopheles arabiensis, Anopheles coluzzii, Anopheles gambiae) collected from different locations in Burkina Faso (Dioulassoba, Klesso, Longo) at larval stage, and reared in the lab together with colony mosquitoes of the same species.

For further details on the experimental setup see: P.M. Esperança, A.M. Blagborough, D.F. Da, F.E. Dowell, T.S. Churcher (2018) "Detection of Plasmodium berghei infected Anopheles stephensi using near-infrared spectroscopy". Parasites and Vector, 11:377. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-2960-z.

The structure of the data file is as follows:

  • column 1 (Scan_ID): scan identifier
  • column 2 (Mosquito_ID): mosquito identifier
  • column 3 (Position): scanning position identifier (1,2,3,4)
  • column 4 (Location): collection location ("Dioulassoba", "Klesso", "Longo")
  • column 5 (Generation): generation type ("Lab", "F0", "F1")
  • column 6 (Species): mosquitoes species ("arabiensis", "coluzzii", "gambiae")
  • columns 7 to 2157 (x350 to x2500): NIRS absorbance measurements for wavelengths in the range 350 to 2500 nanometers
