Ecological niche modelling and understanding the geography of disease transmission 393-400
       
Summary
Methods currently used to characterise geographic patterns of disease transmission usually involve loss of resolution and do not take into account the fine-scale ecological variation that underlies transmission patterns. A new suite of tools (ecological niche modelling) that permits fine-scale characterisation of geographic patterns without loss of resolution, and forecasting of invasive potential and effects of changing climate and land use on species’ distributions is presented.

Keywords
Disease transmission, Climate change, Ecological niche, Geographic distribution, Land use change, Modelling.
