Application of Remote Sensing in Diseases Monitoring and Dispersion

One of the primary goals of society’s development is providing good public health. The health indicators can measure the progress of human development toward sustainable development (1). However, significant population growth coupled with global environmental crises such as climate change, degradation of natural ecosystems, soil erosion, and environmental pollution have led to the spread of many diseases, and even rising new diseases (2). Also, studies have shown that global warming raises natural hazards such as floods, hurricanes, and firing may result in intensifying some diseases (3). This letter aims to clarify the relationship between the environmental factors and disease dispersion and also discusses the important applications of remote sensing and spatial analysis techniques in knowing the environmental state.
