Abstract This book explores the field of geographical variations in disease. Especially with respect to variations in environmental exposures at the small-area scale, the book gives an account of current practice and developments. The recent and rapid expansion of the field looks set to continue in line with growing public, governmental,

Temporal and spatial scales in epidemiological concepts
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1992Traditional concepts in epidemiology are reviewed from ecological, cultural, and logical perspectives. In zoological epidemiology (including the study of human and livestock diseases caused by pathogens), temporal and spatial scales are typically not used in definitions, by hypotheses, and theories concerning epidemic and endemic diseases.

Problems of spatial analysis in geographical epidemiology
Social Science & Medicine. Part D: Medical Geography, 1979Abstract Mortality rates at the county or state economic area level are available for a variety of diseases and frequently provide the basis for correlation studies relating illnesses to environmental and socio-economic indicators. The problems associated with such data are discussed with examples drawn from the etiology of cancer.

Spatial Models in the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases
Advances in Applied Probability, 1980We shall concentrate in this review on the population dynamics of infectious diseases, with special emphasis on the explicit handling of spatial components. Even the simplest nonspatial infectious disease models are moderately complex. The Law of Mass Action is used to describe the rate at which new infections occur in a community, i.e.
