Satellite images, drone photos and even Google Earth could help identify communities most at risk for getting schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease that is second only to malaria in its global health impact.
A team led by the 91自拍 and Stanford University has discovered clues in the environment that help identify transmission hotspots for schistosomiasis.
The 91自拍, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uses rigorous field sampling and aerial images to precisely map communities that are at greatest risk for schistosomiasis.
