Then, we will use Global Positioning System (GPS) to investigate the spatial locations of pigeon cottages in the areas with high population density and high-intensity racing pigeon activities. At the last stage, Geographic information Systems (GIS) will be used to assess spatial risk of cryptococcus neoformans meningitis associated with pigeon cottages. The project will investigate whether locations of pigeon cottages could be one of risk factors of cryptococcus neoformans meningitis. The information could be beneficial for further disease prevention and control.新型隱球菌腦膜炎鴿舍cryptococcus neoformansmeningitispigeon cottage
