Description

This session consists of a range of presentations covering aspects of current research in, not only disease mapping, but also the surveillance of disease maps. Two presentations feature recent work on spatial clustering of disease, while two other focus on quasi-likelihood methods and multi -level models for disease mapping. The final presentation describes the issues which must be addressed when surveillance of spatio -temporal disease variation is considered. A number of these presentations are closely relates to applications in health surveillance related to Bioterrorism.
