HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Africa and the Post-Soviet Space

The collection includes datasets, working papers, and analytical reports addressing the biological properties of novel pathogens, transmission dynamics, environmental determinants, and public health responses. Particular attention is given to the interaction between ecological conditions, physicochemical processes, and the evolution of pathogenic characteristics.

A central component of this category is the geographic analysis of the infectious process. Spatial distribution, mobility patterns, territorial structure, and environmental gradients are examined as fundamental determinants of disease diffusion. The materials engage with the diffusion paradigm, offering conceptual and empirical interpretations of how infectious processes propagate across space and through interconnected regions.

The purpose of this category is to consolidate dispersed research outputs into a coherent analytical framework that integrates ecological, spatial, and epidemiological perspectives.
