摘要：

As per the World Health Organisation, about 260 million people worldwide are infected with malaria and 1.5 to 2.7 million patients die annually due to this most significant infectious parasite. In this study two important species. Anopheles dirus and Anopheles minimus, have been studied in North Lakhimpur and Dibrugarh districts of Assam in the North-Eastern India. Remote sensing has certainly provided a clue in identifying the symptoms of mosquito habitat and Geographical Information System (GIS) has helped us to analyse and identify two species with several environmental parameters. Remote sensing inputs have made a difference in understanding the presence of these species in two districts which are having similar meteorological conditions. It has been found that the nature of the breeding ground for mosquitoes and their spreading patterns are not so complex as generally expected.
