Different ontologies: land change science and health research
2013
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability
Land use and land cover (LULC) is now recognized as an important driver of disease. ...
Ontological differences embedded within disciplinary structures impede progress limiting the ultimate potential of both LULC data and land change theory within disease research. ...
Despite this, within the broader health community, land surface models do play an increasingly important role for helping explain disease causation. ...

Local human movement patterns and land use impact exposure to zoonotic malaria in Malaysian Borneo

2019
biorxiv/medrxiv
pre-print
Combining data with spatially explicit models of mosquito biting rates, we demonstrate the role of individual heterogeneities in local land use in disease exposure. ...
Human movement into insect vector and wildlife reservoir habitats determines zoonotic disease risks; however, few data are available to quantify the impact of land use on pathogen transmission. ...
Separate models were fit for each 238To estimate vector biting rates, we assembled data from 328 nights of human landing catches (HLCs) 243 conducted with 5km of the Matunggong study site while GPS tracking ...

Patterns of mosquito and arbovirus community composition and ecological indexes of arboviral risk in the northeast United States
2020
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
The composition of mosquito communities throughout CT varied more among sites than among years, with variation in mosquito community composition among sites explained mostly by a forested-to-developed-land-cover ...
We used long-term surveillance data consistently collected over 18 years to evaluate mosquito and arbovirus community composition in the State of Connecticut (CT) based on land cover classifications and ...

Projection of Land Use Change Patterns using Kernel Logistic Regression
2009
Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing
A feature vectors selection method for the KLR model has therefore been proposed to impose sparsity and control complexity. ...
To test the effectiveness of KLR, a case study was implemented to model rural-urban land-use conversion in the city of Calgary, Canada during the periods 1985 to 1990 and 1990 to 1999. ...
Since the purpose of this study is to examine the problems that occur when KLR is used for modeling land-use change, only land-use change from nonbuilt-up land to built-up land was considered. ...

Integrating statistical and mechanistic approaches with biotic and environmental variables improves model predictions of the impact of climate and land-use changes on future mosquito-vector abundance, diversity and distributions in Australia
2020
Parasites & Vectors
We recommend consideration of climate and environmental change projections in the process of developing land-use plans as this directly impacts mosquito-vector distribution and larvae abundance. ...
One potentially significant merit of integrated modelling is an improvement in the future surveillance and control of medically relevant endemic mosquito vectors such as Aedes vigilax and Culex annulirostris ...
