International Journal of Health Geographics 2012, 11:23 doi:10.1186/1476-072X-11-23 Published: 27 June 2012 Abstract Background Maps of disease occurrences and GIS-based models of disease transmission risk are increasingly common, and both rely on georeferenced diseases data.
Results We found macrogeographic variations in ecological niche models depending on the type of georeferencing method used. Conclusions The importance of careful georeferencing cannot be overlooked, despite it being a time- and labor-intensive process. Close.

International Journal of Health Geographics 2011, 10:69 doi:10.1186/1476-072X-10-69 Published: 23 December 2011 Abstract Background The Community Health Information System (CHIS) online mapping system was first launched in 1998.
Results In July 2011, a beta version of the next-generation of the application was launched. Conclusions The system features query on the fly technology, which means the data is not generated until the query is provided to the system.
