Public Health added value of GIS/spatial analysis for some infectious diseases. Wilfrid van Pelt, Agnetha Hofhuis, Ingrid Friesema, Jan van de Kassteele and many many others • Simple type of clustering in space and time implemented in 1999 with an internet interface, of 1000 salmonella types for weekly signaling and retrospective inspection. • Simple ecologic analysis of Lyme disease among NL general practices (1995, 2001 en 2006). • Provisional Bayesian analysis of regional densities of cattle, pigs and poultry and the occurrence of patients with STEC (1999-2007).

Transmission of Lyme disease Lyme disease in Europe is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato group; B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii Transmission by the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus). EUROHEIS2 GIS workshop, Wilfrid van Pelt et al. Hotel Mitland, 5 mrt 2009

Retrospective GP-study postal questionnaire All (± 8.000) general practitioners (GP’s) in 1995, 2002 & 2006 received pre-coded questionnaire about previous year How many patients with tick bites have you seen?

GIS wishes • Web-based GIS-tool for questioning both numerators (disease, risk factor) and denominators (underlying population size): • Physicians (EU wide): practice size (denominator), number of Lyme consults (numerator) • Children DayCare Centres (NL): weekly reporting children at risk (denominator) and absenteism infectious diseases (numerator) • Immediately mapping and feeding back the rates to GP or DCC, regional PH-body (GGD) and national PH-body (RIVM) • Accurate incidence figures for regional comparison and analysis of regional risk factors • Condition: • Small, fast web-based application ignoring the artistic selfrespect of GIS developers EUROHEIS2 GIS workshop, Wilfrid van Pelt et al.
