Bridging the gap: Using reservoir ecology and human serosurveys to estimate Lassa virus spillover in West Africa

2020-03-06

Abstract excerpt

Forecasting the risk of pathogen spillover from reservoir populations of wild or domestic animals is essential for the effective deployment of interventions such as wildlife vaccination or culling. Due to the sporadic nature of spillover events and limited availability of data, developing and validating robust, spatially explicit, predictions is challenging. Recent efforts have begun to make progress in this direc...
