【 摘 要 】

The satellite remote sensing being a newly technology has been developed in view of serious pressures onour natural habitat. This terminology was used as early as 1960s has been defined as the sum total of processes usedto acquire and measure the information of some property of objects and phenomena by a recording device (sensor)which is not in physical contact with the objects and phenomena in study. Basically, the process is a combination ofan object surface, the recording device and the information carrying energy waves. For the last couple of decades,the application of remote sensing has not only revolutionized the way data have been collected, but also significantlyimproved the quality and accessibility of information for conservation and management of natural resources. Theparallel advance in the reliability of GIS has permitted the interpretation of large quantity of data generated throughremote sensing to address different environmental problems particularly mapping of disease incidence, prevalence,and mortality and morbidity etc. thus remote sensing could be used to check the spread of diseases and thenapplication of immediate control measures. A very useful function of GIS which helps in modeling the diseases isthe kriging. Kriging has been widely used in Veterinary Parasitology to model the distribution of various parasites/diseases, e.g. Canine Heartworm infection in Europe, Ixodes scapularis, malaria, alveolar echinococcosis, tsetseflies, Calicophoron daubneyi and Oncomelania hupensins. Although remote sensing and GIS of bio invasionmapping has lead to the development of a diverse range of mapping technique, but in terms of real worldapplications, the technology needs further development.
