Abstract
Because of its initial expense, remote sensing imagery has been frequently ignored in studying the epidemiology and ecology of human and animal diseases. However, these digital images have many advantages when the theoretical restrictions and constraints on the data are understood. Remote sensing imagery has the potential significantly to improve the effectiveness and delivery of disease control programmes. As soon as it can be integrated into the operational aspects of programmes, remote sensing imagery will pass from being a data-driven research tool to being need-driven.Keywords
