Abstract
Results of studies in California, Mexico and Belize demonstrate the value of remote sensing technology for studying vector-borne diseases. These studies have also shown that it is necessary to fully define the environmental factors associated with the presence of vectors and disease transmission, and to be able to detect these environmental factors with image data. These studies, and other published reports, are demonstrating many potential uses of remotely sensed data in managing and targeting vector and disease control measures.
