Fine-scale wetland features mediate vector and climate-dependent macroscale patterns in human West Nile virus incidence
NK Skaff, KS Cheruvelil - Landscape ecology, 2016 - Springer
Context Mosquito-borne diseases in the United States are notorious for their seemingly
erratic temporal and spatial outbreak patterns in humans. Identifying linkages between fine-
scale phenomenon and macroscale outbreak patterns can improve the understanding of
these complex socio–ecological systems. Objectives Using West Nile virus (WNV) as a
model system, we examine whether fine-scale wetland characteristics—wetland size,
connectivity, and inundation regime—have an important effect on macroscale human …
