Conceptual gaps and imprecise terms and definitions may obscure the breadth of plant–
animal dispersal relationships involved in directed dispersal. The term 'directed'indicates …

Human mobility is a key component of large-scale spatial-transmission models of infectious
diseases. Correctly modeling and quantifying human mobility is critical for improving …

Geospatial models can facilitate the delineation of food access patterns, which is particularly
relevant for urban planning and health policymaking. Because community food …

Background: Haiti is in the midst of a cholera epidemic. Surveillance data for formulating
models of the epidemic are limited, but such models can aid understanding of epidemic …

We investigate the role of human mobility as a driver for long-range spreading of cholera
infections, which primarily propagate through hydrologically controlled ecological corridors …

Measures of geographic food access overlook an important source of statistical biases,
termed the edge effect. The edge effect refers to the fallacy that events contributing to the …

Measles is an important infectious disease system both for its burden on public health and
as an opportunity for studying nonlinear spatio-temporal disease dynamics. Traditional …

Determining the distribution of disease prevalence among heterogeneous populations at the
national scale is fundamental for epidemiology and public health. Here, we use a …

Reliable estimates of human mobility are important for understanding the spatial spread of
infectious diseases and the effective targeting of control measures. However, when …

Background Dengue is endemic to the rural province of Kamphaeng Phet, Northern
