Spatial Modeling of Human Risk of Exposure to Vector-Borne Pathogens Based on Epidemiological Versus Arthropod Vector Data
Eisen R and Eisen L. 2008. Spatial Modeling of Human Risk of Exposure to Vector-Borne Pathogens Based on Epidemiological Versus Arthropod Vector Data. Journal of Medical Entomology. 45(2):181-192
We use five bacterial or viral vector-borne diseases with pathogen transmission by fleas, ticks, or mosquitoes to 1) examine how spatial risk of human exposure to vector-borne pathogens typically is presented to the public health community and public and 2) evaluate the utility of basing spatial risk models on epidemiological data relative to data for arthropod vectors or infected vectors.
