Abstract:Key Messages
Spatial data are of increasing use in the investigation of emerging zoonoses.
Due to the heterogeneity of required data sources, issues of scale misalignment, data linkage, and access to data are found to be important factors.
Geographers can make significant contributions to zoonoses research through their expertise in evaluating, integrating, and modelling spatial data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
