Abstract

BACKGROUND: Vector-borne diseases caused by Aedes mosquitoes remain a major public health concern across tropical and subtropical regions. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become integral in surveillance by enabling spatial analysis, risk mapping, and predictive modelling. This scoping review explores how GIS has been applied in surveillance studies and identifies its potential applications, key variables, modelling approaches, and challenges.
