Deriving risk maps from epidemiological models of vector borne diseases: State-of-the-art and suggestions for best practice

Deriving risk maps from epidemiological models of vector borne diseases: State-of-the-art and suggestions for best practice

Epidemiological models (EMs) are widely used to predict the temporal outbreak risk of vector-borne diseases (VBDs). EMs typically use the basic reproduction number (R0), a threshold quantity, to indicate risk. To provide an overall view of the risk, these model outputs can be transformed into spatia...
