MLMI-2024: The dataset of mosquito larvae microscopic images (Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus) collected from Surabaya, Indonesia

Indonesia is a tropical country where mosquitoes are common. There are >100 species of mosquitoes found in Indonesia. Some of these species can carry diseases such as dengue fever, which is caused by the <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquito, and West Nile virus, which is carried by the <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> mosquito. Mosquito larvae are found in stagnant or slow-moving water, and identifying the species of larvae is important in medical and veterinary entomology to determine the potential risk of disease. The dataset includes two species of mosquito larvae: <i>Aedes aegypti</i> and <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i>, which are divided into four parts: head, abdomen-8, siphon, and full body. This dataset can be useful for medical entomologists to classify mosquito larvae quickly and automatically.
