Summary:
The article is about trapping mosquitoes to analyze the DNA they have collected from different species. Using new technology they can analyze over one million different pieces of DNA. The technology also allows them to analyze diseases to their source like say rabbits or cows. This allows doctors and health care workers around the globe to stop outbreaks before they spread. This technology really helps because 65% of all diseases that humans are effected by come from other species.

SP2: Developing and using models
The author performed SP2 because they used a picture to show what diseases mosquitoes are responsible for then it tells of how they could help us. And it shows a satellite picture of hot spots for diseases. And it shows a drone picture of view where water and structure can be observed for the mosquitoes they are after. Then it shows an example of the data they collected from their tests. Finally it shows a video explaining what this technology can do for the world. This is all SP2 because the author used picture related to the topic to show an example of how it was like doing this and explaining how this helps.
