description |
<i>Schistosoma haematobium</i> transmission is influenced by environmental conditions that determine the suitability of the parasite and
intermediate host snail habitats, as well as by socioeconomic conditions, access to water and sanitation infrastructure, and human
behaviors. Remote sensing is a demonstrated valuable tool to characterize environmental conditions that support schistosomiasis
transmission. Socioeconomic and behavioral conditions that propagate repeated domestic and recreational surface water contact are
more difficult to quantify at large spatial scales. We present a mixed-methods approach that builds on the remotely sensed ecological
variables by exploring water and sanitation related community characteristics as independent risk factors of schistosomiasis
transmission. |
