As a result, epidemiological questions, such as how disease diffuses at intra urban scales are extremely difficult to answer. This paper presents a novel geospatial methodology, spatial video, which can be used to collect and map environmental covariates, while also supporting field epidemiology. An example of epidemic cholera in a coastal town of Haiti is used to illustrate the potential of this new method. Water risks from a 2012 spatial video collection are used to guide a 2014 survey, which concurrently included the collection of water samples, two of which resulted in positive lab results \u201cof interest\u201d (bacteriophage specific for clinical cholera strains) to the current cholera situation. By overlaying sample sites on 2012 water risk maps, a further fifteen proposed water sample locations are suggested. These resulted in a third spatial video survey and an additional \u201cof interest\u201d positive water sample. A potential spatial connection between the \u201cof interest\u201d water samples is suggested. The paper concludes with how spatial video can be an integral part of future fine-scale epidemiological investigations for different pathogens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph13020187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,3]],"date-time":"2016-02-03T10:06:26Z","timestamp":1454493986000},"page":"187","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Mapping to Support Fine Scale Epidemiological Cholera Investigations: A Case Study of Spatial Video in Haiti"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Andrew","family":"Curtis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GIS, Health &amp; Hazards Lab, Department of Geography, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jason","family":"Blackburn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spatial Epidemiology and Ecology Research Laboratory, Department of Geography, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"},{"name":"Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4181-517X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Smiley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GIS, Health &amp; Hazards Lab, Department of Geography, Kent State University at Salem, Salem, OH 44460, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minmin","family":"Yen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA 02111, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Camilli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA 02111, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meer","family":"Alam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Afsar","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emerging Pathogens Institute, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yang, K., LeJeune, J., Alsdorf, D., Lu, B., Shum, C., and Liang, S.
