Review Surveillance of Arthropod Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases Using Remote Sensing Techniques: A Review Satya Kalluri*, Peter Gilruth, David Rogers, Martha Szczur ABSTRACT America [3]. The ‘‘burden’’ of prominent infectious diseases worldwide transmitted by arthropod vectors is given in Table pidemiologists are adopting new remote sensing 2 [4]. Disease burden is expressed in Disability Adjusted Life E techniques to study a variety of vector-borne diseases. Years (DALYs), which is the sum of years lost prematurely due Associations between satellite-derived environmental to mortality and disability for incidence cases of the disease variables such as temperature, humidity, and land cover type [5]. One DALY represents the loss of a year of healthy life. and vector density are used to identify and characterize Passive disease surveillance involves voluntary reporting by vector habitats. The convergence of factors such as the people who are ill enough to go to a treatment center; such availability of multi-temporal satellite data and centers are therefore only effective for detection and georeferenced epidemiological data, collaboration between mitigation after a person has been infected. On the other remote sensing scientists and biologists, and the availability of hand, active disease surveillance, which involves ‘‘searching’’ sophisticated, statistical geographic information system and for evidence of disease proactively through routine and image processing algorithms in a desktop environment continuous monitoring in endemic areas, coul
