Modeled habitat suitability from a predictive approach to mapping Angiostrongylus cantonensis nematode distribution, Canary Islands, Spain, and prevalence of A. cantonensis across Tenerife and the Canary Islands based on field survey data (2022). A, C) MaxEnt model predicting habitat suitability (probability of occurrence), with overlap of urban areas (CORINE Land Cover, class 1), for Tenerife detail (A) and the Canary Islands archipelago (C). B, D) Boosted regression tree model predicting prevalence in Tenerife (B) and the Canary Islands archipelago (D).
