Spatial epidemiology is a rapidly advancing field, pushing our abilities to measure, monitor and map pathogens at increasingly finer spatiotemporal scales. However, these scales often do not align with the abilities of control programmes to act at them, building a disconnect between academia and implementation. Efforts are being made to feed innovations into government, build spatial data skills, and strengthen links between disease control programmes and universities, yet work remains to be done if goals for disease control, elimination and 'leaving no one behind' are to be met.
空间流行病学是一个快速发展的领域,推动了我们以越来越精细的时空尺度来测量、监测和绘制病原体的能力。然而,这些尺度往往与控制项目在这些尺度上的行动能力不匹配,从而在学术界和实施之间造成脱节。目前正在努力将创新融入政府,培养空间数据技能,并加强疾病控制项目和大学之间的联系,但如果要实现疾病控制、消除和“不落下任何人”的目标,仍有许多工作要做。
