Abstract

The wide spread of Cholerae is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholera, which is sufficiently found in unpurified river also associated with drinking water which grows depends on certain environmental factors responsible for the reproduction of bacterium. These environmental parameters of the water sample are routinely measured by the research ship to acquire the updated data is expensive and time consuming. Interruption of regional scale can also be problematic. The Vibrio cholera are highly remote sensitive to deduce its presence which is not seen nakedly. This study is reported with the satellite data which is used to monitor the spreading time of the cholera. They also correlated the remote sensing data which includes temperature and height of sea surface of Bay of Bengal directly with the cholera case data of Bangladesh from 1992–1995. It predicts that sea surface temperature was an annual cycle comparable to cholera case data. Similarly, sea surface height can be as indicator of attack of plankton loaded with internal water, to be correlated with cholera occurrence. The massive study on V.cholerae during the past 25 years, confirms that its growth and spreading is depend on aquatic environment and zooplanktons, i.e., copepods respectively. Such results are when combined with satellite data, concludes to prove the widespread of cholera is a climatic factor.
