GIS for Animal Health
The courses will be based on open-source free powerful GIS software (Quantum GIS). It uses pre-existing material developed for new QGIS users and provides participants with basic mapping skills. Chapter 16 "GIS for Animal Health" is specifically written for GIS users interested in animal disease mapping. Participants will learn how to use the software to generate usable disease distribution maps based on simple existing data sources in iSIKHNAS. The second part of the course will develop more advanced skills in GIS and data management using Quantum GIS, PostgreSQL, GRASS and other tools.
