The word "pathography" was created by using the prefix word patho, meaning "suffering or disease" (medterms.com) and the suffix word graphy, meaning "writing or representation produced in a specified manner or by a specified process." (answers.com) This blog will be use to briefly touch base on diseases that are native to particular regions around the world. With both the prefix and the suffix given, I was able to create my very own, unique definition. World Pathography- is the study and mapping of disease processes in various countries around the world.
Disclaimer: This word was created only for this blog, the actual term is "Medical Geography" or "Health Geography"
