Abstract:Echinococcosis is an infectious disease transferred through ingestion of food or water which has been contaminated with eggs of the
Echinococcus
tapeworm, which are spread by intermediate parasite hosts. Because the latter are primarily territorial, research related to diagnosis and prevention of echinococcosis requires investigation of environmental factors, which can be supported with the use of a Geographical Information System (GIS). In particular, since this type of research is usua… Show more
“…Another study proposed a novel Web GIS architecture for disease mapping that focused on the diagnosis and prevention of echinococcosis [ 102 ]. However, the effect of climate change on the risk of zoonotic diseases is not yet fully understood.…”
