A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a very powerful and flexible software tool for effective management of spatially referenced data (e.g., geodata). Coupling database and GIS technology provides the tools for a detailed analysis of spatial patterns and distributions in veterinary applications. A specific veterinary GIS (VetGIS) toolbox was developed to perform the calculation of indices such as Lorenz curve, GINI index, and a kernel-based animal density estimation. This software was employed for the analysis and management of avian influenza in Italy during the 1999-2000 epidemic.
地理信息系统(GIS)是一种功能强大且灵活的软件工具,用于有效管理空间参考数据(如地理数据)。将数据库与GIS技术相结合,可为兽医应用中空间模式和分布的详细分析提供工具。开发了一个特定的兽医GIS(VetGIS)工具箱,用于执行诸如洛伦兹曲线、基尼指数和基于核的动物密度估计等指标的计算。该软件在1999 - 2000年意大利禽流感疫情期间用于疫情分析和管理。
