Description
Summary:	Purpose: improvement of epidemiological surveillance of anthrax in the Rostov region with the use of a geoinformational system (GIS). Materials and methods: for GIS development soil maps of «The Unified State Register of Soil Resources of Russia» are used; information on incidence of anthrax provided by experts of «The Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Rostov Region» from 1990 to 2014; computer Quantum GIS 2.2 program. Results: GIS allows carrying out the multiple-factor analysis, to reveal patterns of anthrax spread among people and animals, to carry out the comparative historical analysis of data, to monitor dynamics and a trend of incidence. Summary: GIS information will form a basis for the analysis, planning and implementation of epidemiological and veterinary surveillance in the Rostov region.
