Mosquito Village

Project: Mosquito Village
Service: Aerial Photogrammetry
Status: In progress
Year: 2025 | Location: Nampula City

We carried out medium-altitude flights using a DJI Mavic Mini drone, capturing aerial imagery of the “Mosquito Village” development, a project composed of experimental houses built with adobe and thatch, located in the Murrapaniua neighborhood, Natikiri.

This photogrammetry exercise resulted in both orthogonal (-90 degree) aerial shots and bird’s-eye view images from varied angles, providing comprehensive visual documentation of the settlement’s layout and construction features. The images were later used in a scientific article, which can be accessed here: doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2024.1404493 The study, conducted by our client, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of modified adobe houses in reducing mosquito presence, as part of broader strategies to combat malaria in Nampula.
