TELE – EPIDEMIOLOGY CONCEPT (concept patented, 2009)
■Predicting and monitoring of geographical evolution of epidemics ( in
relation with climate changes) using mathematical modelling with a
multidisciplinary approach
■Using 4 types of parameters:
Environmental
xSpace (atmospheric, oceanic, land-cover observations...)
xIn-situ (hydrology, in-situ observations…)
Human/animal clinical
Entomological (vectors)
Socio-economical data
