Disease Mapping and Spatial Epidemiology using GIS
Here the authors describe a general procedure for using open source GIS tools (GRASS-R-PostreSQL) to do environmental disease modeling. The emphasis is on using GIS to predict suitable conditions that may lead to a tick borne epidemic (Lyme disease), or any environmental vector caused epidemic in general.
