REMOTE SENSING AND GIS FOR SCHISTOSOMIASIS CONTROL

描述(改编自申请人的摘要)：这是一个修订后的 应用一项提案，以确定以下项目的可行性和有效性 利用遥感技术进行大范围生态监测 被人类干预改变的条件，可能为 两栖蜗牛。这些蜗牛是人类传播的中心 血吸虫病在四川和江西两省的中国。这个项目将 证实了对地面和卫星数据的初步分析表明 从陆地卫星TM图像可以识别出钉螺的栖息地。 随后，将努力通过以下方式使分类更加准确 用生态和景观数据补充这些数据，并评估 替代遥感数据，以提高其预测风险区域的能力。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Applicant's Abstract): This is a revised application of a proposal to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using remote sensing technology for large scale surveillance of ecological conditions, altered by human interventions, that may provide habitat for amphibious snails. These snails are central to the transmission of human schistosomiasis in Sichuan and Jiangxi Provinces of China. This project will validate preliminary analyses of ground and satellite data suggesting that Oncomelania hupensis habitat can be identified from Landsat TM imagery. Subsequently, efforts will be made to make the classification more precise by supplementing these data with ecological and landscape data and to evaluate alternative remotely sensed data for their ability to predict risk areas.
