GH019
Monitoring, Modeling and Mapping of GeoHealth Indicators for Environmental Pathogens
Session ID#: 82082
Session Description:
Pathogens are ubiquitous in the environment and many of them are highly contagious and sensitive to changes in environmental conditions, posing increasing risks to human health due to changing climate and environmental conditions. This session is intended to improve our understanding of the occurrence, prevalence, and persistence of environment/climate sensitive pathogens (such as Vibrios, Norovirus, Naegleria fowleri etc.) in the environment ranging from sea, land to atmosphere by identifying GeoHealth Indicators (such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity) and predictive relationships for the pathogens. To that end, this session solicits contributions that would improve our understanding of the seasonal occurrence, temporal (particularly long-term climate change-induced) variations and spatial distributions of these environmental pathogens by presenting GeoHealth indicators, advanced monitoring and testing technologies (such as next-generation sequencing, biosensing and satellite remote sensing), effective nowcasting and forecasting tools (such as Artificial Intelligence-based and numerical modeling-based predictive tools), and geospatial mapping methods.
