A total of 377 dengue cases were identified from a laboratory-based dengue surveillance system and georeferenced by their residential addresses on digital zoning and U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps. Weekly case maps were generated for the period between June and December 1991, when 94.2% of the dengue cases were reported. The temporal evolution of the epidemic was rapid, affecting a wide geographic area within seven weeks of the first reported cases of the season. Dengue cases were reported in 217 houses; of these 56 (25.8%) had between two and six reported cases. K-function analysis was used to characterize the spatial clustering patterns for all reported dengue cases (laboratory-positive and indeterminate) and laboratory-positive cases alone, while the Barton and David and Knox tests were used to characterize spatio- temporal attributes of dengue cases reported during the 1991-1992 outbreak. For both sets of data significant case clustering was identified within individual households over short periods of time (three days or less), but in general, the cases had spatial pattern characteristics much like the population pattern as a whole. The rapid temporal and spatial progress of the disease within the community suggests that control measures should be applied to the entire municipality, rather than to the areas immediately surrounding houses of reported cases. The potential for incorporating Geographic Information System technologies into a dengue surveillance system and the limitations of using surveillance data for spatial studies are discussed At 10:33 PM 5/9/2000 -0700, Dick Hoskins sent this message... >If you get some responses, I would very much like to know what shows up. >Thanks >Richard Hoskins >GIS & Spatial Epidemiology Group >WA State Department of Health >1102 Quince Street >Olympia, WA 98504-7812 > >GIS uses in public health summer course: >http://healthlinks.washington.edu/inpho/gis/course.html >----- Original Message ----- >From: >To: ; ; ; >; >Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2000 9:14 PM >Subject: Journal for GIS application on dengue control > > > > Hi there, > > Does anyone know what will be good journals to publish papers concerning >the > > use of GIS for dengue control?
