Spatial analysis of hepatitis A virus in Iraq for the period (2008-2013)

Abstract

The study of the spatial distribution of disease infections and deaths in Iraq showed that there is a spatial variation in the prevalence rates between the governorates, as the highest prevalence rate was concentrated in central Iraq in Karbala Governorate. The prevalence of disease deaths in the governorates (Nineveh, Kirkuk, Diyala, Baghdad, Karbala, Basra), and the research also showed that the relationship between the geographical environment factors and the pathological factors controlled to some extent the temporal trends and the spatial distribution of the disease in the research area.
