Mosquito-borne diseases affect millions of people worldwide. In the United States, since
1999, West Nile Virus (WNV) has infected 36,801 people and has caused the deaths of …

Abstract The Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) is a new method that has been
developed to delineate open water features and enhance their presence in remotely-sensed …

Potential larval habitats of the mosquito Culex tarsalis (Coquillett), implicated as a primary
vector of West Nile virus in Wyoming, were identified using integrated remote sensing and …

Although remotely sensed data have been used in public health studies, these studies are
often limited by the critical choice that has to be made in data selection: either using data …

Commonly applied water indices such as the normalized difference water index (NDWI) and
the modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI) were originally conceived for …

Accurate and frequent updates of surface water have been made possible by remote
sensing technology. Index methods are mostly used for surface water estimation which …

Heterogeneity in urban landscapes can influence the effectiveness of mosquito-borne
disease control. We used remotely sensed vegetation indices to discriminate among …

Land surface water bodies, an essential part of the Earth's water cycle such as rivers, lakes,
swamp, and reservoirs, influence the global ecosystem and climate global significantly …

Abstract The Burullus Lagoon is one of the most severely impacted water bodies in the Nile
Delta. A set of six satellite images acquired between 1973 and 2011 was employed to map …

The normalized difference water index (NDWI) has been successfully used to delineate
surface water features. However, two major problems have been often encountered:(a) …
