EPIDEMIO: EARTH OBSERVATION IN EPIDEMIOLOGY
msra(2005)
摘要
The objective of the EPIDEMIO project is to provide earth-observation-derived information on the environ- ment to epidemiologists working to study, monitor and predict threats to human health. End-user organizations directly involved in the project include the World Health Organization, European research institutes, and several organizations based in Africa. Earth observation pro- vides a broad range of information types: digital ele- vation maps, urban maps, cartography, maps of water bodies, vegetation maps, land surface temperature maps, and monitoring of wind-blown Sahelian dust. This in- formation is used in applications such as malaria and meningococcal meningitis epidemic early warning, in planning fieldwork campaigns for research into the Ebola virus's reservoir, and in the management of development projects in public health. This paper describes the work done in the DUE EPIDEMIO project and the potential benefits that earth observation can bring to the epidemio- logical research.
