Environmental conditions and changes : Impacts on children's health in West Africa - The case of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI)

The aims are to investigate the seasonality of ARI, understand the role of the environment in the spatio-temporal pattern, quantify the variability due to environmental factors and evaluate the impact of extreme weather events. The combination of remote sensing, GIS, geostatistics, spatial modelling allows obtaining environmental report which determines the conditions for development and the presence of diseases, including hotspot.
