Malaria is dependent on environmental factors and considered as potentially re-emerging in temperate regions. Remote sensing data have been used successfully for monitoring environmental conditions that influence the patterns of such arthropod vector-borne diseases.

Satellite-derived estimation of environmental suitability for malaria vector development in Portugal

  • Authors: Almeida APG, Benali A, Freitas FB, Lima JC, Lourenço PM, Novo MT, Nunes JP, Seixas J, Sousa CA

  • Journal: Remote Sensing of Environment

This work focused on determining the current relationships between environmental factors and the density of the former malaria vector Anopheles atroparvus in Portugal, a previously endemic country. Adult females were sampled and vector density was estimated in 22 sites in Southern Portugal between 2001 and 2010 and related with land cover and satellite-derived air temperature and vegetation indices. The relationship between vector density and local larval habitat, temperature and, in a broader sense, to environmental suitability, was assessed using a statistical modelling approach.
