A First Attempt at Modelling Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) Distributions Over Europe

A First Attempt at Modelling Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) Distributions Over Europe

The presence of red deer may be a contributing factor within the ecological and epidemiological systems contributing to the risk and spread of a range of vector-borne diseases. Deer are important hosts for many vectors, and may therefore serve as a focal point or attractant for vectors or may themse...
