Exploring Ecology and Associated Disease Pattern

Abstract

Globalization, climate change, unstable weather condition, pathogen evaluations, drug and insecticide confrontation, growing vector habitat and populations, and the deficiency of preventive measures have eradicated barriers and fortified the emergence and reemergence of vector-borne diseases. The prolific appreciation and usage of emerging infectious diseases is becoming a hostile task. Ecological aspects habitually precipitate occurrence by retaining people in contact with a natural reservoir or host for an contagion before unacquainted but typically existent either by increasing immediacy or by changing circumstances so as to errand an increased population of the microbe or its natural host. The human ecology of disease is hesitant with the habits of social comportments, in its cultural and socio-economic circumstances, intermingles with environmental surroundings to produce or avert disease among predisposed people. The wider use of Remote sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is needed to delineate the abiotic and biotic environmental variables for the study of disease transmission modelling and identification of habitat niches of the vector. A case study was conducted to understand the correlation between geo-environmental factors and Phelobotomus argentipes abundance.
