Modelling spatial concordance between Rocky Mountain spotted fever disease incidence and habitat probability of its vector Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick)
The spatial distribution of <em>Dermacentor variabilis</em>, the most commonly identified vector of the bacterium <em>Rickettsia rickettsii</em> which causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) in humans, and the spatial distribution of RMSF, have not been previously studied...
