Ideas for Ecosystem Services

• What infectious disease is being studied where? -- a map-based overview of field-based studies of one or more infectious diseases
  • With a timeline (date of publication)
  • Combined with other parameters, e.g. ...
    • median age of acute infection (do people get infected at different ages in different places?)
    • urban vs. rural (do urban or rural communities show increased incidence? compare in different localities?)
    • seasonality (how does time of outbreak compare across different places?)
    • distribution (prevalence) of various Leptospira species?

• For a journal like plosntd, a simple find or browse by disease might be a valuable service.

N.B. a map-based mashup of studies of various bacterial species has already been done by http://maps.mlst.net/view_maps.php -- the maps show, by country, data on different strains of a particular species; or, for a given strain, where it has been isolated.
