Modelling spatiotemporal patterns of visceral leishmaniasis incidence in two endemic states in India using environment, bioclimatic and demographic data, 2013-2022. by Swaminathan Subramanian, Rajendran Uma Maheswari, Gopalakrishnan Prabavathy, Mashroor Ahmad Khan, Balan Brindha, Adinarayanan Srividya, Ashwani Kumar, Manju Rahi, Emily S Nightingale, Graham F Medley, Mary M Cameron, Nupur Roy, Purushothaman Jambulingam

“…Fitted model showed that VL occurrence was positively associated with mean temperature, minimum temperature, enhanced vegetation index, precipitation, and isothermality, and negatively with maximum temperature, land surface temperature, soil moisture and population density.<h4>Conclusions/significance</h4>The spatiotemporal model incorporating environmental, bioclimatic, and demographic factors demonstrated that the KAMIS database of the national programmme can be used for block level predictions of long-term spatial and temporal trends in VL incidence and risk of outbreak / resurgence in endemic and non-endemic settings. …”
