Spatial and Syndromic Surveillance is the first to provide an overview of all the current key methods in spatial surveillance, and present them in an accessible form, suitable for the public health professional.
It features an abundance of examples using real data, highlighting the practical application of the methodology.
- Provides an overview of the current key methods in spatial surveillance of public health data.
- Includes coverage of both single and multiple disease surveillance.
