Most investigations that examine diffusion of §disease through urban areas give relatively scant §attention to the 'micro-environment.' Employing the §many methods of macro-environmental analysis, most §studies do not attempt to identify street-level or §even residence-level temporal-spatial patterns of §disease diffusion. As a result, the mechanisms that §lead to diffusion on such small scales are left §relatively undefined. §§This book investigates some of these unexplored §areas by presenting a temporal-spatial analysis of §the Memphis Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878. This...

Within the last few decades, the multitude of §infrastructural and environmental changes associated §with population growth, human migration, and §economic development have catalyzed the emergence §and re-emergence of many infectious diseases §worldwide. The morbidity and mortality associated §with these diseases have in turn led to an increased §and renewed impetus to gain a better understanding §of the etiology, epidemiology, prevention, and §control of these diseases in order to achieve better §health and well-being, especially for §underprivileged populations. Two traditionally...
