Abstract:
To build the Geographical Information System (GIS) database for prevention and control of cholera programs as well as using management analysis and function demonstration to show the spatial attribute of cholera.Data from case reporting system regarding diarrhoea,vibrio cholerae,serotypes of vibrio cholerae at the surveillance spots and seafoods,as well as surveillance data on ambient environment and climate were collected.All the data were imported to system database to show the incidence of vibrio cholerae in different provinces,regions and counties to supoport the spatial analysis through the spatial analysis of GIS.The epidemic trends of cholera,seasonal characteristies of the cholera and the variation of the vibrio cholerae with times were better understood.Information on hotspots,regions and time of epidemics was collected,and helpful in providing risk prediction on the incidence of vibrio cholerae.The exploitation of the software can predict and simulate the spatio-temporal risks,so as to provide guidance for the prevention and control of the disease.
