Epidemiology Landscape

Epidemiological geography (landscape-geographical epidemiology) is a branch of science that studies the patterns of spread of infectious diseases in different geographical areas and their changes over time. This discipline arose at the intersection of a number of sciences, including geography, meteorology, biology and ecology, as well as medical education. Her research area is expanding to include new methods of data analysis, innovative geographical approaches and computer technologies. These methods provide a more accurate understanding of the causes of infectious disease epidemics and help plan effective measures to combat them. The landscape-epidemiological approach is a tool for predicting epidemic situations and preventing natural disasters. The main objectives of this science are: studying the role of natural factors: climate and topography in the development of epidemic and infectious diseases; analysis of indicators of variability of the epidemic process under the influence of geological, climatic and biological
