Disease forecast: mapping the geographic potential of disease spread under current and future climate

The world is presently experiencing the most serious known outbreaks of several arboviruses and other neglected tropical diseases. We identify disease transmission scenarios and present a set of analyses to develop disease risk maps. These maps are used to detail transmission risk in multiple dimensions and fill gaps of knowledge in vector surveillance and control programs. We examine several case studies for diseases that strike many populations across the world and cause higher rates of morbidity and mortality among these populations.
