Spatial epidemiology helps health care administrators and policymakers understand the spatial dynamics of disease, including areas of high incidence and prevalence, which can aid resource allocation and planning during disease outbreaks. The book highlights the importance of new methodologies, such as clustering algorithms, visualization, and space-time modelling, in spatial epidemiology. These techniques are increasingly used in commercial Geographic Information Systems, allowing for more efficient analysis of large spatial datasets. The book will be useful for epidemiologists, health care administrators, and policymakers who want to understand the spatial dynamics of disease and develop effective strategies to prevent and treat illness.  aEnglish  xSpatial epidemiology  aHealth CarevGeographic information systems  aKanaroglou, Pavloseeditor.  aDelmelle, Ericeeditor.  aPaez, Antonio.eeditor.  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCcCARTd2022-11-30e7g3213.59l0o614.42 SPAp52574r2022-11-30 00:00:00v4402.18w2022-11-30yBK
