In addition to these data sources, we also used environmental data to train ecological niche models to map the risk of local WNV circulation leading to human infections. The ecological niche models based on both types of surveillance data highlighted new areas potentially (5/8)

In this study, we aimed to perform risk mapping of WNV circulation leading to human infections in Europe by integrating two types of surveillance systems: indicator-based and event-based surveillance. For indicator-based surveillance, we used data on human case numbers (3/8)

Circulation of West Nile virus (WNV) is an increasing public health threat in Europe and, while detection of WNV is notifiable in humans and animals in the European Union, surveillance based on human case numbers presents some limitations, including reporting delays (2/8)

The Oropouche virus expansion in Brazil was a concerning case of arbovirus emergence outside of its endemic range, and so many questions remained! We aimed to answer some of them by integrating landscape phylogeography and ecological niche modelling! https://t.co/fQef5aeQdd
