Bayesian time-varying occupancy model for West Nile virus in Ontario, Canada

Seth D. Temple et al.

Summary: This study extends occupancy models to estimate the varying occupancy rates throughout a sampling season and account for spatial dependence among sites. The research found that urban land cover and warm temperatures drove viral occupancy, and viral testing on pools with higher proportions of Culex mosquitoes was more likely to result in a positive test for West Nile virus. Models with time-varying occupancy effects achieved better performance.

Predicting the spatio-temporal spread of West Nile virus in Europe

Jose-Maria Garcia-Carrasco et al.

Summary: West Nile virus is a widely spread mosquito-borne virus that affects humans and birds. Human cases have been increasing in Europe since the first large-scale epidemic in 1996, with the highest number of cases occurring in 2018. Risk models based on environmental and human-related variables were developed to predict the occurrence, intensity, and geographical distribution of outbreaks in 2018.

Updated distribution maps of predominant Culex mosquitoes across the Americas

Morgan E. Gorris et al.

Summary: This study used contemporary mosquito data and ecological niche modeling to update estimates of the geographical distribution of seven predominant Culex species in North and South America, finding differences in their ranges influenced by environmental factors. Some species prefer urban environments, while others are limited to tropical or humid regions, with many found in the Central Plains of the USA.
