Spatial analysis of the viral hepatitis disease pattern (A) in Iraq for the period (2008-2013)

Throughout this research it becomes clear that epidemic type of Viral Hepatitis (A) in Iraq during the study period did not appear routinely. Via studying the time directions, monthly and yearly, we found it followed different directions, up and down, within the year months. The highest seasonally rate of affection and mortality had been recorded in Summer. The affected demographic directions show that the disease affect the two genders, male and female, and all ages with different degrees.
Studying the spatial distribution of affections and death in Iraq shows a spatial significance for its distribution rates in the governorates; the highest distribution rate focuses in the middle of Iraq( Kerbellaa governorate), while the highest death degree had been recorded in more than one governorates (Ninawa, Kirkouk, Deyala, Baghdad, Kerbellaa and Al- Basrah).
The research also found a relation between the geographical environment elements and the pathological elements that governed the disease time directions and spatial distribution in the study area.
