Application of remote sensing and GIS for dengue epidemic surveillance in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

Remote sensing and GIS data was used in dengue epidemic mapping. The work focused on three main applications. First, mapping the dengue epidemic incident location by analysing the cases which have relationship between one another, like cases occurring in 200 meter range from the first case and time...
