Epidemiology and what you can find out from spatial patterns with infectious diseases is a really interesting area with powerful results. I believe the utilization of the story map to this subject is a great way of sharing information on infectious information, its origins and statistical projections for where is could spread to.
The WHO have a good resource for working in this area.
