A proposed framework for the development and qualitative evaluation of West Nile virus models and their application to local public health decision-making.
West Nile virus (WNV) is a globally distributed mosquito-borne virus of great public health concern. The number of WNV human cases and mosquito infection patterns vary in space and time. Many statistical models have been developed to understand and predict WNV geographic and temporal dynamics. Howev...
