Figure 3. Cartographic representation of the biogeographic models (numbered 1–5) based on the different West Nile virus lifecycle components for Africa. Model 1 (reservoir model) indicates environmental favorability for the presence of the virus in birds. Model 2 (vector model) indicates environmental favorability for the presence of the virus in vectors. Model 3 (epizootic model) indicates environmental favorability for the presence of the virus in nonhuman mammals. Model 4 (enzootic model) indicates environmental favorability for the presence of the virus in >1 component of the enzootic virus cycle. Model 5 (potential risk model) indicates environmental favorability for potential spillover of the virus.
