Primes

• Spatial Indexing
  • GIS transfers to epidemiology: spatial indexes built for parcels and roads are now used for outbreak clustering and contact tracing, the geometric operations being identical.

    This sourceReviews how GIS and spatial-indexing/analysis methods built for geographic features are applied to disease-cluster detection, outbreak investigation, and contact tracing — the geometric operations identical to the GIS originals.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
