Data Preparation for West Nile Virus Agent-Based Modelling: Protocol for Processing Bird Population Estimates and Incorporating ArcMap in AnyLogic
BACKGROUND West Nile Virus (WNV) was first isolated in 1937. Since the 1950s, many outbreaks have occurred in various countries. The first appearance of infected birds in Manitoba, Canada was in 2002. OBJECTIVE This paper describes the data preparation phase of setting up a geographic information system (GIS) simulation environment for WNV Agent-Based Modelling in Manitoba. METHODS The main...
متن کاملModelling geographic variations in West Nile virus.
BACKGROUND This paper applies a method for modelling the spatial variation of West Nile virus (WNv) in humans using bird, environmental and human testing data. METHODS We used data collected from 503 Alberta municipalities. In order to manage the effects of residual spatial autocorrelation, we used generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) to model the incidence of infection. RESULTS There wer...
متن کاملWest Nile virus and greater sage-grouse: estimating infection rate in a wild bird population.
Understanding impacts of disease on wild bird populations requires knowing not only mortality rate following infection, but also the proportion of the population that is infected. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in western North America are known to have a high mortality rate following infection with West Nile virus (WNv), but actual infection rates in wild populations remain un...
متن کاملModelling the dynamics of West Nile Virus.
In this work we formulate and analyze a mathematical model for the transmission of West Nile Virus (WNV) infection between vector (mosquito) and avian population. We find the Basic Reproductive Number R0 in terms of measurable epidemiological and demographic parameters. R0 is the threshold condition that determines the dynamics of WNV infection: if R0< or =1 the disease fades out, and for R0 >1...
متن کاملMonitoring Early Season Mosquito and Bird Populations: Implications for West Nile Virus in Lancaster County, Nebraska
associate professor of mathematics, for serving as faculty advisors for the project. We would also like to thank all of the people who allowed us onto their properties to collect mosquitoes and survey birds. Finally, we would like to thank the Nebraska Department of Health and Human services for providing training in mosquito identification and resources needed to conduct RAMP tests. Jason Thie...
