Using GIS Tools to Understand Host Ecology and Epidemics - Lecture 1
Offered By: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore Geographic Information System (GIS) tools and their applications in understanding host ecology and epidemic dynamics in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the intersection of spatial analysis and disease ecology, learning how GIS technologies can be leveraged to map, analyze, and visualize complex ecological and epidemiological data. Discover techniques for integrating diverse datasets, including host distribution, environmental factors, and disease prevalence, to gain insights into the spatial patterns and spread of infectious diseases. Examine case studies that demonstrate the power of GIS in predicting disease hotspots, identifying risk factors, and informing public health interventions. Gain practical knowledge on using GIS software to create informative maps, conduct spatial analyses, and interpret results in the context of host-pathogen interactions and epidemic management.
