Nidal delineation of Thailand: an approach to disease ecology in major nidal base regions.
Provisional nidal base regions have veen delineated for Thailand. The nidal base regions so derived were compared by computing the percentages of species common to pairs of provinces (coefficient of community, CC). The results provided a CC matrix and dendrogram showing the relationship between regions, combined with the general geographic and climatologic conditions. Six ecological regions have been designated, of which five are classified as super provinces (Northeast, Central, East, South and Far South), while only one is a subregion (North). Problems of error in the data are discussed and the need for further accurate analysis to further the goal of control of disease.
