Application of geospatial technologies for understanding and predicting vector populations and vector-borne disease incidence

摘要: Vector-borne diseases inflict a heavy health burden. Numerous vector species have expanded their ranges while some vector-borne emerged in new geographic areas or reemerged former endemic areas, potentially due to global climate change. The continued burden and the expansion disease led an increased need for understanding predicting space time potential abundance distribution of vectors transmission diseases. Advances computing technologies, spatial data availability, greater ecological drivers made it commonplace attempt understand estimate, space, populations incidence. Although there been great advances are still limitations complex varying ecologies epidemiological contexts as well limitations. In this paper, we will provide overview examine use geospatial technologies prediction
