Editorial: Satellite Earth Observation for animal health and vector-borne diseases.

The editorial in Frontiers in Veterinary Science discusses the use of satellite Earth observation data for animal health and vector-borne diseases. The research topic explores the application of Earth Observations (EO) for understanding disease ecosystems and leveraging big data for public and animal health benefits. Studies highlighted in the editorial demonstrate the value of EO data in characterizing environmental conditions, predicting disease vectors' distribution, and informing surveillance strategies. The editorial emphasizes the importance of making EO data easily accessible to epidemiologists and integrating insights from various fields to enhance real-time epidemiological monitoring and response to emerging health threats.
