LeishmaniasisDocument ActionsGeographic Information Systems (GIS) for an efficient monitoring and control of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean area.
ZCL-GIS sub project in EMPHIS aims to enhance current surveillence
systems of ZCL by integrating temporal (incidence data) and spatial
components (basic administrative unit) represented on computerized maps
using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Multiple sources of information
related to ZCL (incidence, human population density, rodent activity and
vegetation are placed on individual maps and layered to identify overlaps on
these maps; thereby, providing spatial relationship and correlative
activity. Electronic transmission of generated data and maps will
permit better understanding of ZCL risk and targeted control interventions.
The ultimate objective (5 to 10 years) is to enhance the surveillance of
leishmaniasis by integrating to parasitic disease programs a validated tool
that will help managers designing and implementing more efficient control
programs of cutaneous leishmaniasis and a risk safe land use. Documents
