The study of spatio-temporal distribution of cases of disease is one of the basis of epidemiology and ignoring the spatio-temporal dimension in disease investigations can lead to major biases and mistaken results. This course has provided the basis to understand the usefulness of Geographical Information Systems and spatio-temporal analyses to provide an increased precision to the qualitative and quantitative assessment of disease outbreaks, compare different populations/ settings through the use of quantitative and objective criteria and detect significant phenomenon that may be imper-ceptible otherwise.
