Database structure and table relationship.

<p>The DMD database contains a set of support tables to facilitate the database updating (i.e. the decoding tables of diseases, species, diagnosis and vectors), and tables containing epidemiological information and environmental and climatic data.</p

Preliminary environmental and climatic analysis.

<p>Values for the 6 months preceding the start date of the outbreak are displayed in tab (DLST) and graph format (Chart tab).
