cord-300727-v3spbo5u	Peterson, A. Townsend	Biogeography of diseases: a framework for analysis	2008-03-05		.txt	text/plain	4423	203	42	The ways in which these differences may influence disease transmission geography are complex; I illustrate their effects by means of worked examples regarding West Nile Virus, plague, filoviruses, and yellow fever. Three example disease systems are illustrated: West Nile Virus, the filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg viruses), and plague: Changes are illustrated as the difference between broken (original) and entire (present) outlines of circles; particular geographic occurrences of the disease are labeled to illustrate points discussed in the text appropriate from both abiotic and biotic perspectives and that are accessible to the species in terms of dispersal. In niche modeling, known occurrences of species (or diseases, in some cases) are related to raster geographic information system (GIS) coverages summarizing relevant environmental parameters in an evolutionary computing environment; the result is a picture of the species' ecological distribution, which can be projected onto geography to identify a potential distribution for the species (Peterson 2007; Soberón 2007) .	./cache/cord-300727-v3spbo5u.txt	./txt/cord-300727-v3spbo5u.txt
