Title: Tracking emerging diseases from space: Geoinformatics for human health

European and other countries are at increasing risk for new or re­emerging vector­borne diseases.  Among the top ten vector­borne diseases with greatest potential to affect European citizens are  Dengue fever, Chikungunya, Hantavirus, and Crimean­Congo hemorrhagic fever. Despite the risk of  disease transmission, many vectors like the Asian tiger mosquito or ticks are also a nuisance in daily life. The examination of disease vector spread and a better understanding of spatio­temporal  patterns in disease transmission and diffusion is greatly facilitated by Geoinformatics. New methods including the use of high resolution time series from space in spatial models enable us to predict  species invasion and survival, and to assess potential health risks. Geoinformatics is able to address  the increasing challenge for human and veterinary public health not only in Europe, but across the  globe, assisting decision makers and public health authorities to develop surveillance plans and  vector control.
