Mapping Disease Transmission Risk: Enriching Models Using Biogeography and Ecology
Global human population density is increasing, as are our abilities to assemble large ecologic datasets and perform surveillance for and respond to diseases as they emerge. Consequently, multidimensional ecologic data may help us improve public health locally and globally. This engaging book empowers disease modelers and public health policy makers by introducing them to ecologic niche models a...
متن کاملmapping spatial variation of disease using classic and bayesian models
abstract disease mapping includes a set of statistical techniques that lead to provide clean maps based on estimation of the incidence, prevalence and mortality rates for the users to be able to estimate the distribution of disease reliably. the main aims of disease mapping are to: describe the spatial variation in disease incidence for the formulation of etiological hypotheses; identify area...
متن کاملThe relationship between biogeography and ecology: envelopes, models, predictions
This paper reviews ideas on the relationship between the ecology of clades and their distribution. Ecological biogeography represents a tradition that dates back to ancient times. It assumes that the distribution of organisms is explained by factors of present environment, especially climate. In contrast, modern systematics, following its origins in the Renaissance, concluded with Darwin that ‘...
متن کاملDust source mapping using satellite imagery and machine learning models
Predicting dust sources area and determining the affecting factors is necessary in order to prioritize management and practice deal with desertification due to wind erosion in arid areas. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the application of three machine learning models (including generalized linear model, artificial neural network, random forest) to predict the vulnerability of dust cent...
متن کاملThe comparative ecology and biogeography of parasites.
Comparative ecology uses interspecific relationships among traits, while accounting for the phylogenetic non-independence of species, to uncover general evolutionary processes. Applied to biogeographic questions, it can be a powerful tool to explain the spatial distribution of organisms. Here, we review how comparative methods can elucidate biogeographic patterns and processes, using analyses o...
