Mbaoma, OC; Thomas, S M; Beierkuhnlein, C: Mathematical model for spatial and temporal risk analysis of West Nile Virus Transmission in Bavaria, Germany, ASIM Tagungsband Kurzbeiträge, 27, 5-8 (2024) [Link] | |
Abstract: The spatial and temporal trends of mosquito-borne diseases have been shifting. Recently, there has been an increase in cases of West Nile Fever across Ger-many. In this study, we investigated the spatial and tem-poral risk of West Nile virus transmission in Bavaria us-ing a mathematical model. The model incorporated epi-demiological, climatic, and bird distribution data. It gen-erated spatially and temporally explicit graphs depicting the health states of mosquitoes and birds. Additionally, risk maps identify areas in Bavaria at heightened risk for West Nile virus transmission. |
