技术来描述和调查疾病的空间聚集-最近邻休息，自相关，Cuzick和爱德华兹的测试和空间扫描统计-和时间-Ederer-Myers-Mantel测试和时间扫描统计-进行审查。这些技术在兽医流行病学中的应用证明了一个数据集的分析，描述发生的绿头苍蝇罢工-身体罢工和臀罢工-1998年8月至1999年5月之间，在33个商业羊群位于澳大利亚东南部昆士兰州的两个地方政府地区。通过应用这些方法的组合，在研究区的发生的丽蝇罢工是在空间和时间上的特点。在兽医流行病学调查疾病集群的指导方针进行了讨论。(C)2000 Elsevier Science B. V.保留所有权利。
Techniques to describe and investigate clustering of disease in space - the nearest-neighbour rest, autocorrelation, Cuzick-and-Edwards' test and the spatial scan statistic - and in time - the Ederer-Myers-Mantel test and the temporal scan statistic - are reviewed. The application of these techniques in veterinary epidemiology is demonstrated by the analysis of a data set describing the occurrence of blowfly strike - both body strike and breech strike - between August 1998 and May 1999 in 33 commercial sheep flocks located within two local government areas of southeastern Queensland, Australia. By applying a combination of these methods, the occurrence of blowfly strike in the study area is well-characterised in both space and time. Guidelines for investigating disease clusters in veterinary epidemiology are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
