Title
GIS and Spatial Analysis in Veterinary Science
Description
The use of geographical information systems (including remote sensing) and
spatial analysis in public health is now widespread. Its importance and
potential for the monitoring of animal diseases has never been greater with the
recent outbreaks of BSE and Foot-and-Mouth Disease. GIS and Spatial Analysis in
Veterinary Science is the first book to review how such practices can be
applied to veterinary science. Topics covered include the application of GIS to
epidemic disease response, to companion animal epidemiology and to the
management of wildlife diseases. It also covers the parallels with human health
and spatial statistics in the biomedical sciences.
