Dr. Lantos’ research expertise is the spatial epidemiology of infectious diseases using geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial statistical analysis. He currently has active research studies in the geospatial analysis of Lyme disease, congenital cytomegalovirus, zoonotic influenza, dengue, and social and demographic health disparities. He has received a grant to train public health personnel in China and Mongolia in GIS software and spatial analysis. His research makes use of geocoded electronic health records and public health data to identify spatial and spatiotemporal patterns in human disease risk, employing cluster analyses, geostatistical point pattern analyses, generalized additive models, and Bayesian spatial analytical methods. Dr. Lantos was chair and lead author of the Lyme disease guideline from the American Academy of Neurology, American College of Rheumatology, and Infectious Diseases Society of America. Dr. Lantos has worked internationally in both research and clinical capacities, including in The Gambia, Senegal, Ghana, Tanzania, Mongolia, China, and the Peruvian Amazon.
