Spatial dependence of malaria epidemics in municipalities of the Amazonian Ecosystem.
In 2010, there were 305 (37.8%) municipalities with malaria epidemics in the Brazilian Amazon. The epidemics spread can be explained by the spatial distribution pattern.To analyze the spatial dependence, autocorrelation, of the malaria epidemics in the municipalities of this region.An automated algorithm was used for the detection of epidemic ...
