Integrating Landscape Hierarchies in the Discovery and Modeling of Ecological Drivers of Zoonotically Transmitted Disease from Wildlife 2018-04-28 .txt text/plain 6442 328 42 (2006) used coarse resolution vegetation index data to model and predict the continental-scale relationship between climate-driven landscape change and Lyme disease. Like all zoonotic disease, the ecology of each species of Hantavirus is closely related to that of its host organism; thus, generalization of virus-landscape relationships cannot be made without considering the habitat characteristics of the reservoir host. A regional-scale analysis of rodent reservoirs of hantaviruses in Paraguay showed that the host species do indeed show patterns of land cover preference, even when land cover is mapped into very general categories. For example, mathematical models for hantavirus infection in rodents have been studied in the context of multiple host species, spatial spread, and environmental variability (Abramson and Kenkre 2002; Abramson et al. Many challenges remain in model formulation, analysis, and simulation of zoonotic disease dynamics that relate to landscape and climate and the wide range of temporal and spatial scales (Allen et al. ./cache/cord-018911-tpm2594i.txt ./txt/cord-018911-tpm2594i.txt
