An examination and analysis of the spatial aspects of health and disease ecology resulting from environmental change. The course applies geographical information systems (GIS) methods to analyze the interrelationship between environmental modification and the prevalence of diseases throughout the world. The course begins with a discussion of disease ecology, or how human behavior, in its cultural and socioeconomic context, interacts with environmental conditions to cause morbidity and mortality. Students use geographic information systems (GIS) to trace the linkages between disease agents, disease vectors and their hosts, and the diffusion of disease.
