title: Data from: Using mobile phones as acoustic sensors for high-throughput mosquito surveillance

description: The direct monitoring of mosquito populations in field settings is a
 crucial input for shaping appropriate and timely control measures for
 mosquito-borne diseases. Here, we demonstrate that commercially available
 mobile phones are a powerful tool for acoustically mapping mosquito
 species distributions worldwide. We show that even low-cost mobile phones
 with very basic functionality are capable of sensitively acquiring
 acoustic data on species-specific mosquito wingbeat sounds, while
 simultaneously recording the time and location of the human-mosquito
 encounter. We survey a wide range of medically important mosquito species,
 to quantitatively demonstrate how acoustic recordings supported by
 spatio-temporal metadata enable rapid, non-invasive species
 identification. As proof-of-concept, we carry out field demonstrations
 where minimally-trained users map local mosquitoes using their personal
 phones. Thus, we establish a new paradigm for mosquito surveillance that
 takes advantage of the existing global mobile network infrastructure, to
 enable continuous and large-scale data acquisition in resource-constrained
 areas.
