Modeling the potential distribution of Wesselsbron, Sindbis, and Middelburg viruses and their vectors in Africa under future climatic and land-use changes
Our study describes how ecological changes are shaping current and future ecological risk of neglected arboviral diseases in Africa and provides spatial maps to aid intersectoral targeted surveillance and vector control as part of early-warning systems.
