The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is deploying drones to track monkeys that are increasingly passing a rare strain of malaria to humans in Malaysian Borneo . The drones are monitoring movements of the macaques as rampant deforestation destroys their habitats and moves them closer to human settlements in search of food . Each vehicle is controlled via laptop with imaging stitched together to produce a display that enables them to identify potential future danger areas .

The drones are monitoring movements of the macaques as rampant deforestation destroys their habitats and drives them closer to human areas in search of food. Each vehicle is controlled via laptop with imaging stitched together to produce a map that enables teams to anticipate potential future danger areas.
