Abstract
This paper reviews the application of remote sensing to the study and control of invertebrate intermediate hosts and vectors for some of the most prevalent of human diseases worldwide. Examples are also taken f rom studies involving animal diseases that have considerable adverse e ffects on human welfare. The current status of remote sensing in epide miology is assessed and suggestions are made on how, in the future, th e two fields might be most profitably combined.
