Risk profiling of schistosomiasis using remote sensing: approaches, challenges and outlook
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is a water-based disease that affects an estimated 250 million people, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. The transmission of schistosomiasis is spatially and temporally restricted to freshwater bodies that contain schistosome cercariae released from specific snails that act a...
