Background Increasing volumes of data and computational capacity afford unprecedented
opportunities to scale up infectious disease (ID) mapping for public health uses. Whilst a …

Quantitatively mapping the spatial distributions of infectious diseases is key to both
investigating their epidemiology and identifying populations at risk of infection. Important …

Mapping is a prerequisite for effective implementation of interventions against neglected
tropical diseases (NTDs). Before the accelerated World Health Organization …

The primary aim of this review was to evaluate the state of knowledge of the geographical
distribution of all infectious diseases of clinical significance to humans. A systematic review …

In the past, and still today, people living in the developing world have been, and continue to
be, repeatedly exposed to a number of endemic parasitic diseases which impose an …

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect more than 1,000,000,000 poor and marginalized
people worldwide [1]. NTDs are caused by diverse pathogens with differing modes of …

Abstract The use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographical Information
Systems (GIS) in disease surveys and reporting is becoming increasingly routine, enabling a …

Tools are required to identify 'multi-endemic'population segments–in order to benefit the
most vulnerable people and to make public health interventions cost-effective. The article …

There has been a substantial amount of recent modelling work in multivariate disease-
mapping models in epidemiology. These models provide information on similarities, as well …

Background After many years of general neglect, interest has grown and efforts came under
way for the mapping, control, surveillance, and eventual elimination of neglected tropical …
