Call for the development of university specialties in the «fight against health pests»
"There is an urgent need to open university specialties in the field of combating public health pests," said Mohammed Al Marzouqi, Director of Public Health Pest Control Projects at the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center, "Recycling." He pointed out that most UAE universities do not study this course In detail, we find specialists in pesticides, but there are no specialists in the management of pest control in full. Pointing out that the experts in this field are few, and the Arab countries in general lack much experience in the field of pest management, stressing the importance of opening courses related to public health pests to be supportive and leading in this area, and through the preparation of specialized national cadres, Especially since the number of citizens in this area is very few, and obtained their expertise through the study and attend workshops and specialized conferences held abroad, stressing the importance of this specialization and national experience and knowledge of the environmental and natural conditions of the state to address any risk that may harm the health of Nation ».
Electronic database
It is worth noting that the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (TECRA) developed last year the Integrated E-Management Management System for Pests, with national hands, and has so far registered 95% of the public health pests, linking the disease with the carrier, resulting in complete control. Of the use of pesticides and the presence of the same foci, as the electronic base is able to document and analyze the results and lay the foundations of planning and directing work, and the ability to absorb all the data related to the process of control and linked to the reality of field work. The database is also able to summarize the results and extract the data for any pest within a specific time frame, with the reporting feature and send it to the customer. This data is also linked with geographic coordinates that are reflected on thermal maps to determine infection levels, It is then linked to the field work team.
Smart technologies
Al-Marzouqi affirmed that the future phase will depend on the design and establishment of an early warning system through artificial intelligence techniques. The epidemiological diseases and their vector will be linked in cooperation with the relevant government agencies. The use of remote sensing technology to monitor and spread pests will contribute To determine the preventive measures in the case of infection to ensure that they are not spread due to the spread of the pest and disease, including factors such as temperature, humidity, etc., in addition to knowing the impact of pesticides on the environment of the affected areas, and the sensitivity of pests and resistance to pesticides, Intelligent sensor traps with system and artificial intelligence, which will be used in field survey of pests such as rodents and bulk animal reservations.
