Geo-Ontology and Geographical Information System Extended by a first-order logic language: Application to malaria control
A geo-ontology can be built around a Geographic Information System (GIS) and enriched with a firstorder logic language under the closed-world assumption (CWA). This extended system provides knowledge representation formalisms that are aimed to describe general conceptual information. They can also be used in the construction of the knowledge base of a reasoning tool. In this paper an environmen...
متن کاملUsing a geographical information system to plan a malaria control programme in South Africa.
INTRODUCTION Sustainable control of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is jeopardized by dwindling public health resources resulting from competing health priorities that include an overwhelming acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. In Mpumalanga province, South Africa, rational planning has historically been hampered by a case surveillance system for malaria that only provided estimat...
متن کاملUsing a Geographical-Information-System-Based Decision Support to Enhance Malaria Vector Control in Zambia
Geographic information systems (GISs) with emerging technologies are being harnessed for studying spatial patterns in vector-borne diseases to reduce transmission. To implement effective vector control, increased knowledge on interactions of epidemiological and entomological malaria transmission determinants in the assessment of impact of interventions is critical. This requires availability of...
متن کاملApplication of Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing technologies for assessing and monitoring malaria risk.
Despite over 30 years of scientific research, algorithm development and multitudes of publications relating Remote Sensing (RS) information with the spatial and temporal distribution of malaria, it is only in recent years that operational products have been adopted by malaria control decision-makers. The time is ripe for the wealth of research knowledge and products from developed countries be ...
متن کاملGeographical information system (GIS) in decision support to control malaria--a case study of Koraput district in Orissa, India.
dous public health burden globally. Malaria is endemic in >100 countries and ~40% of the world’s population is at malaria risk1. Malaria is a local and focal disease. Besides ecological parameters which influence the disease there are some important local factors such as socioeconomic, socio-cultural and behaviour patterns of the community which play a major role in disease transmission. If the...
