Spatialepidemiology.net provides
a map-based interface for the display and analysis of
infectious disease epidemiological data, including molecular
data, utilising Google Maps and Google Earth.
Mashing together genetic and epidemiological data, utilising the mapping tools
provided by Google, is providing an important new way of analysing and displaying
epidemiological data. This approach is likely to grow as Google Maps and Google
Earth are free resources, which can readily be linked to epidemiological data
and analysis programs via a simple to use and intuitive web interface. |
DATASETS - See

Our initial three datasets illustrate some of the uses
of Google Maps to display epidemiological data. These
include the display of molecular typing data obtained for
a number of major bacterial pathogens using multilocus
sequence typing (MLST), the surveillance of the distribution
and spread of the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis which
is causing widespread declines and extinctions of amphibian
species, and the surveillance of drug-resistant bacteria
in Europe. |
CREATE
YOUR OWN MAPS - See here
We provide the facility to geocode your own spatial data
(e.g. on the distribution of a pathogen, or pathogen
genotypes, or the location of infectious disease outbreaks)
and display it on a permanent map. Maps can take the
form of a simple collection of points or can
contain user-defined groupings of data allowing more
complex displays – e,g, the distribution on the
map of the location and extent of a disease in different
years.
