Bayesian Geostatistical Modeling of Leishmaniasis Incidence in Brazil
BACKGROUND Leishmaniasis is endemic in 98 countries with an estimated 350 million people at risk and approximately 2 million cases annually. Brazil is one of the most severely affected countries. METHODOLOGY We applied Bayesian geostatistical negative binomial models to analyze reported incidence data of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil covering a 10-year period (2001-2010). Par...
متن کاملBayesian geostatistical modeling with informative sampling locations
We consider geostatistical models that allow the locations at which data are collected to be informative about the outcomes. Diggle et al. [2009] refer to this problem as preferential sampling, though we use the term informative sampling to highlight the relationship with the longitudinal data literature on informative observation times. In the longitudinal setting, joint models of the observat...
متن کاملBayesian Geostatistical Modeling of Malaria Indicator Survey Data in Angola
The 2006-2007 Angola Malaria Indicator Survey (AMIS) is the first nationally representative household survey in the country assessing coverage of the key malaria control interventions and measuring malaria-related burden among children under 5 years of age. In this paper, the Angolan MIS data were analyzed to produce the first smooth map of parasitaemia prevalence based on contemporary nationwi...
متن کاملSpatial analysis and risk mapping of soil-transmitted helminth infections in Brazil, using Bayesian geostatistical models.
Soil-transmitted helminths (Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and hookworm) negatively impact the health and wellbeing of hundreds of millions of people, particularly in tropical and subtropical countries, including Brazil. Reliable maps of the spatial distribution and estimates of the number of infected people are required for the control and eventual elimination of soil-transmitted he...
متن کاملPredictive risk mapping of schistosomiasis in Brazil using Bayesian geostatistical models.
Schistosomiasis is one of the most common parasitic diseases in tropical and subtropical areas, including Brazil. A national control programme was initiated in Brazil in the mid-1970s and proved successful in terms of morbidity control, as the number of cases with hepato-splenic involvement was reduced significantly. To consolidate control and move towards elimination, there is a need for relia...
