West Nile virus (WNV) is a globally distributed mosquito-borne virus of great public health concern. The number of WNV human cases and mosquito infection patterns vary in space and time. Many statistical models have been developed to understand and p

Time series models of malaria cases can be applied to forecast epidemics and support proactive interventions. Mosquito life history and parasite development are sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation, and these varia

An Operational System for Surveillance and Ecological Forecasting of West Nile Virus Outbreaks

Autor: Michael C. Wimberly, Michael B. Hildreth, Geoffrey P. Vincent, Justin K. Davis, Andrea Hess

Publikováno v: ISEE Conference Abstracts. 2018

Mosquito-borne disease surveillance has traditionally focused on tracking human cases along with the abundance and infection status of mosquito vectors. Vector and host population dynamics are also...

Models that forecast the timing and location of human arboviral disease have the potential to make mosquito control and disease prevention more effective. A common approach is to use statistical time-series models that predict disease cases as lagged
