  abstract = {{T}he prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria, are important health issues in tropical areas. {M}alaria transmission is a multi-scale process strongly controlled by environmental factors, and the use of remote-sensing data is suitable for the characterization of its spatial and temporal dynamics. {S}ynthetic aperture radar ({SAR}) is well-adapted to tropical areas, since it is capable of imaging independent of light and weather conditions. {I}n this study, we highlight the contribution of {SAR} sensors in the assessment of the relationship between vectors, malaria and the environment in the {A}mazon region. {M}ore specifically, we focus on the {SAR}-based characterization of potential breeding sites of mosquito larvae, such as man-made water collections and natural wetlands, providing guidelines for the use of {SAR} capabilities and techniques in order to optimize vector control and malaria surveillance. {I}n light of these guidelines, we propose a framework for the production of spatialized indicators and malaria risk maps based on the combination of {SAR}, entomological and epidemiological data to support malaria risk prevention and control actions in the field.},
