First published in 1963, Advances in Parasitology contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. This volume is an outline of global environmental and global population data including scripts for predicting disease distributions and evaluating the accuracy of these mapped products. Several application chapters discuss current research topics appropriately addressed at the global scale. Topics such as tick-borne disease and the mapping of geographic and phylogenetic space; implications of global ecozonation and transportation networks on pathogen flow; and the impacts of climate change on vector-borne diseases are covered in this latest volume.
* Includes DVD of global environmental and global population data, including scripts for predicting disease distributions and evaluating the accuracy of these mapped products* Valuable source of both technical and epidemiological data in this rapidly growing field* Discusses practical applications of techniques to the study of parasitic and infectious diseases

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A nice copy. No writing or highlighting. Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- Edited by Simon I. Hay, Alastair Graham and David J. Rogers, this special volume in the Advances in Parasitology series collects review chapters on mapping disease distributions at a global scale, with a DVD of global environmental and population data. The opening chapters are technical. They deal with models for vectors and vector-borne diseases, satellite-derived environmental data, questions of scale and uncertainty in remote sensing, and methods for estimating where the world's population lives. Later chapters apply these methods to particular diseases: the spatial limits of malaria transmission in 2005, risk maps for yellow fever and dengue, soil-transmitted helminths and tick-borne disease systems. Closing chapters consider how global transport networks and climate change may alter the spread of infection. Seller Inventory # RP-240304-shelf-23-006
