Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop basic climatic and ecological profiling for the District of Columbia using ground meteorological and remotely sensed data provided by NOAA for transmission risk assessments for endemic and exotic mosquito-vectored pathogens. Key research pathogens. Key research outcomes: 1) Successful compilation of ground meteorological and remotely sensed data provided by NOAA for the District of Columbia for an assessment of seasonal climatic and environmental change. 2) Successful merging of enviro-climatic profiling with avian and mosouito collection data provided by the DC Department of Health (DOH) for use in delineating the seasonal changes in population densities. The merger of this data was produced within a Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping environment in partnership with the Utah State University GIS Program. 3) Provided a briefing in August 2003 to DC DOH public health officers in the use of meteorological and remotely sensed data for future analyses. Established a permanent, ongoing collaboration for biosurveillance system development in the District. 4) Initial development of the first data security matrix for integrated biodefense that objectively places RSEPIS within the proper context for management of data sources.
