Spatiotemporal Modeling of Zoonotic Arbovirus Transmission in Northeastern Florida Using Sentinel Chicken Surveillance and Earth Observation Data by Lindsay P. Campbell, Robert P. Guralnick, Bryan V. Giordano, Mohamed F. Sallam, Amely M. Bauer, Yasmin Tavares, Julie M. Allen, Caroline Efstathion, Suzanne Bartlett, Randy Wishard, Rui-De Xue, Benjamin Allen, Miranda Tressler, Whitney Qualls, Nathan D. Burkett-Cadena

“…The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of the landscape composition and configuration and dynamic weather events on the 2018 spatiotemporal distribution of eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) (<i>Togaviridae</i>, <i>Alphavirus</i>) and West Nile virus (WNV) (<i>Flaviviridae</i>, <i>Flavivirus</i>) sentinel chicken seroconversion in northeastern Florida. We used a modeling framework that explicitly accounts for joint spatial and temporal effects and incorporates key EO (Earth Observation) information on the climate and landscape in order to more accurately quantify the environmental effects on the transmission to sentinel chickens. …”
