疾病地图在传染病流行病学和控制中正变得越来越重要。对于淋巴丝虫病，过去由于缺乏关于感染或疾病水平的地理分布的数据，这类地图的开发受到了阻碍。在这里，埃德温·迈克尔和多姆·邦迪展示了一份这种寄生虫病的地图集，该地图集来自最近汇编的地理数据库。重点是绘制和分析全球和区域IPA的病例流行数据，作者展示了绘制地理分布图不仅是评估感染和疾病分布的空间模式，而且还根据感染和/或发病率对流行区进行分层。
Disease maps ave becoming increasingly important in infectious disease epidemiology and control. For lymphatic filariasis, the development of such maps has been hampered in the past by the lack of data on the geographical distribution of levels of infection or disease. Here, Edwin Michael and DOM Bundy present an atlas for this parasitic disease derived from a recently compiled geographical database. Focusing on mapping and analysis of case prevalence data at the global and regional Ipa;ls, the authors show how mapping the geographical distribution is integral Mot only to assessing spatial patterns in the infection and disease distribution but also to stratifying endemic areas by infection and/or disease rate.
