How Spatial Epidemiology Helps Understand Infectious Human Disease Transmission
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022 Both directly and indirectly transmitted infectious diseases in humans are spatial-related. Spatial dimensions include: distances between susceptible humans and the environments shared by people, contaminated materials, and infectious animal species ...
