Spatialepidemiology.net provides a map-based interface for the display and analysis of infectious disease epidemiological data, including molecular data, utilising Google Maps and Google Earth.

Mashing together genetic and epidemiological data, utilising the mapping tools provided by Google, is providing an important new way of analysing and displaying epidemiological data. This approach is likely to grow as Google Maps and Google Earth are free resources, which can readily be linked to epidemiological data and analysis programs via a simple to use and intuitive web interface.

EpiCollect - Epidemiologists and ecologists often collect data in the field and, on returning to their laboratory, enter their data into a database for further analysis. The recent introduction of mobile phones that utilise the open source Android operating system, and which include (among other features) both GPS and Google Maps, provide new opportunities for developing mobile phone applications, which in conjunction with web applications, allow two-way communication between field workers and their project databases.
