What are Some Applications of Geospatial Analysis in Epidemiology?
Geospatial analysis has a wide range of applications in epidemiology: 1. Vector-borne Diseases: Mapping the habitats of vectors like mosquitoes helps in controlling diseases like malaria and dengue. 2. Environmental Health: Studying the impact of environmental factors like air pollution on health outcomes. 3. Chronic Diseases: Analyzing the geographic distribution of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease to identify risk factors. 4. Emergency Response: Enhancing emergency response efforts during natural disasters by mapping affected areas and vulnerable populations.
