The use of a GIS-based malaria information system for malaria research and control in South Africa.

Carrin Martin1, Bronwyn Curtis, Colleen Fraser, Brian Sharp.   

Abstract

The paper aims to outline the innovative development and application of a Geographical Information System based Malaria Information System for malaria research and control in South Africa. This system is a product of collaboration between the Malaria Control Programmes and the Malaria Research Programme of the Medical Research Council of South Africa. The ability of such a system to process data timeously into a usable format is discussed, as well as its relevance to malaria research, appropriate malaria control measures, tourism, and social and economic development.
