GIS for Animal Health
The courses will be based on open-source free powerful GIS software (Quantum GIS). An introductory stage of the course will provide participants with basic disease mapping skills – learning how to use the software to generate usable disease distribution maps based on simple existing data sources in iSIKHNAS. A second stage of the course will develop more advanced skills in GIS and data management using Quantum GIS, PostgreSQL, GRASS and other tools. This course is still focused primarily on disease mapping but moves into more sophisticated techniques.
