Application of Remote Sensing in Diseases Monitoring and Dispersion

One of the primary goals of society’s developmentis providing good public health. The health indicatorscan measure the progress of human development towardsustainable development (۱). However, significant populationgrowth coupled with global environmental crisessuch as climate change, degradation of natural ecosystems,soil erosion, and environmental pollution have ledto the spread of many diseases, and even rising new diseases(۲). Also, studies have shown that global warmingraises natural hazards such as floods, hurricanes, and firingmay result in intensifying some diseases (۳). This letteraims to clarify the relationship between the environmentalfactorsanddisease dispersionandalso discusses the importantapplications of remote sensing and spatial analysistechniques in knowing the environmental state.Diseases spread are associated with the environmental
