Welcome to the Spatial Epidemiology
Laboratory Web Site.

We apply tools such as geographic information systems and remote sensing to gather and manage environmental data that can explain the spatial distributions of disease agents and their vectors, and assess transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. Following quantitative spatial analysis, maps are produced to target further research efforts, as well as support surveillance and control efforts by public health agencies. We also collaborate closely with the GIS and Spatial Analysis Laboratory (GISSA) and other researchers at the Center for Zoonoses Research (CZR) here at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
