Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping Risk of Nipah Virus Transmission Across Asia and Across Bangladesh
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used documented occurrences of the Nipah virus to develop ecological niche-based maps summarizing its likely broader occurrence and found that the maps within Bangladesh were quite successful in identifying areas in which the virus is predictably present and likely transmitted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving Methods for Reporting Spatial Epidemiologic Data
TL;DR: It is found that meaningful use of the point-radius method will require not only recording detailed movements during the perceived window of opportunity for pathogen exposure but also weighting of risk by activity type and, for some vector-borne diseases, time of day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consistency of Taxonomic Treatments: A Response to Remsen (2005)
TL;DR: This is the publisher's version, also available electronically from http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1642/0004-8038%282006%29123%5B885%3ACOTTAR%5D2.0.CO
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal environmental triggers of Ebola and Marburg virus transmission
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined five filovirus outbreaks for which time series of remotely sensed data (NDVI values) are available and for which the reservoir-to-human index case transmission timing and location are known.
Journal Article
Spatial epidemiology of bat-borne rabies in Colombia
TL;DR: Evaluated the quality, quantity, and distribution of rabies occurrences data and effectiveness of the environmental data used by Brito and colleagues, which shows climate data showed environmental homogeneity across broad areas, and remotely-sensed data offered a richer and more detailed environmental characterization.
