WHO Updates Global Arbovirus Guidelines to Include AI Surveillance Tools

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its first updated global guidelines for managing dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever since 2016. The revisions incorporate AI-driven surveillance protocols, recommending real-time mosquito population tracking via IoT sensors and predictive models to forecast outbreak hotspots. Additionally, the guidelines outline standardized fluid replacement therapies for severe dengue and warn against non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in high-risk cases. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized the need for “data-driven response systems” to combat climate-driven arbovirus spread.
