Abstract

A National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sponsored project to use remote sensing technology in a predictive model of vector population dynamics and malaria transmission potential for the coastal plain of Chiapas, Mexico, is described. Included are the results of recent studies to characterize vector habitats and an assessment of the kinds of information that will be required for developing the predictive model within a geographic information system.
