Spatially disaggregated disease transmission risk: land cover, land use and risk of dengue transmission on the island of Oahu
Summary Vector‐borne diseases persist in transmission systems that usually comprise heterogeneously distributed vectors and hosts leading to a highly heterogeneous case distribution. In this study, we build on principles of classical mathematical epidemiology to investigate spatial heterogeneity of disease risk for vector‐borne diseases. Land cover delineates habitat suitability for vectors, …
