摘要: Spatial epidemiology is the study of spatial variation in disease risk or incidence. Several ecological processes can result strong patterns such incidence: for example, pathogen dispersal might be highly localized, vectors reservoirs pathogens spatially restricted, susceptible hosts clumped. Here, we briefly describe approaches to that are implicit, as metapopulation models transmission, and then focus on research explicit, creation maps particular geographical areas. Although dynamics infectious diseases subject intensive study, impacts landscape structure epidemiological have so far been neglected. The few studies demonstrate how composition (types elements) configuration (spatial positions those influence incidence suggest a true integration ecology with will fruitful.
