Global efforts have been put in controlling malaria over past many years. Traditional Larval Source Management (LSM) which uses manual forms to keep track of the status of areas surveyed, is very inefficient in malaria control process. To address this issue, this paper describes an android mobile platform to do malaria larval source surveillance. The system has been applied by the Health Authority – Abu Dhabi (HAAD) with satisfied feedback.
