Geospatial Modeling of Infectious Disease Risks for US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI)

STG has as team of expert scientists, geospatial analysts, computer scientists and database experts who have worked collaboratively to develop risk maps, tools, and analyses to understand the risks of infectious diseases, including West Nile Virus and other encephalitides in the U.S.; dengue, malaria, yellow fever, and leishmaniasis globally; and African and American trypanosomiasis at the continental scale. STG will continue to develop methodologies, tools and models to assess health threats to U.S. interests worldwide, supporting NCMI with access to relevant health information and scientifically based analytic tools. Our teams use temporal and spatial mapping using the latest GIS mapping technology of chronic diseases including remotely sensed satellite data and advanced mathematical modeling to produce tools that can identify, in the absence of surveillance data, areas suitable for our target diseases. Our work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences U.S.A. Users of our products include state and local governments, CDC, DOD, the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
