This book illuminates new and more effective infectious disease mapping methods and integrates biogeographic and ecological factors with spatial models. The author treats disease transmission areas for what they are--distributions of species. He argues that complex, fragmented, and highly irregular disease patterns can only be understood when underlying environmental drivers are considered. The result is an modeling approach that challenges static spatial models and provides a framework for recasting disease mapping
