TY - JOUR AU - Peterson, A. Townsend T1 - Ecologic Niche Modeling and Spatial Patterns of Disease Transmission T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2006 VL - 12 IS - 12 SP - 1822 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Ecologic niche modeling (ENM) is a growing field with many potential applications to questions regarding the geography and ecology of disease transmission. Specifically, ENM has the potential to inform investigations concerned with the geography, or potential geography, of vectors, hosts, pathogens, or human cases, and it can achieve fine spatial resolution without the loss of information inherent in many other techniques. Potential applications and current frontiers and challenges are reviewed.
