Most investigations that examine diffusion of disease through urban areas give relatively scant attention to the ''micro-environment.'' Employing the many methods of macro-environmental analysis, most studies do not attempt to identify street-level or even residence-level temporal-spatial patterns of disease diffusion. As a result, the mechanisms that lead to diffusion on such small scales are left relatively undefined.

Most investigations that examine diffusion of
disease through urban areas give relatively scant
attention to the ''micro-environment.'' Employing the
many methods of macro-environmental analysis, most
studies do not attempt to identify street-level or
even residence-level temporal-spatial patterns of
disease diffusion. As a result, the mechanisms that
lead to diffusion on such small scales are left
relatively undefined.
This book investigates some of these unexplored
areas by presenting a temporal-spatial analysis of
the Memphis Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878. This
analysis constructs a modern GIS database used to re-
create and analyze the Urban Yellow Fever diffusion
patterns seen in Memphis in 1878 by various
statistical means. Hot spots and multi-death
residences in particular were examined for
interrelated patterns. Temporal-spatial cartographic
representations of these areas show that social and
cultural interactions probably play a greater role
in urban yellow fever dissemination than previously
thought.
