The potential distribution of Bacillus anthracis suitability across Uganda using INLA

Scientific Reports, 2022
To reduce the veterinary, public health, environmental, and economic burden associated with anthrax outbreaks, it is vital to identify the spatial distribution of areas suitable for Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of the disease.

Estimating Velocities of Infectious Disease Spread Through Spatio‐Temporal Log‐Gaussian Cox Point Processes

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Understanding the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID‐19 is crucial for informed decision‐making and resource allocation. A critical component of disease behaviour is the velocity with which disease spreads, defined as the rate of change between time and space.

Modelling and Inference for Bayesian Bivariate Animal Models using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations [PDF]

, 2014
In this study we focus on performing inference on bivariate animal models using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA). INLA is a methodology for making fast non-sampling based Bayesian inference for hierarchical Gaussian Markov models.

Spatio-Temporal Modeling for Forecasting High-Risk Freshwater Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms in Florida

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
Due to the occurrence of more frequent and widespread toxic cyanobacteria events, the ability to predict freshwater cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHAB) is of critical importance for the management of drinking and recreational waters.

Modeling suspected malaria cases in Papua province with second order Besag-York-Mollie 2 spatial regression

International Journal of Applied Mathematics, Sciences, and Technology for National Defense
The number of malaria cases in Indonesia has increased in recent years. The highest malaria cases in Indonesia are in the eastern region, namely Papua Province, where in 2021 there were 86,022 cases.

Global, Regional, and National Trends in Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer Incidence From 1990 to 2021 and Projection to 2040: A Systematic Analysis

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Lip and oral cavity cancer (LOCC) represents a significant global health burden, with varying incidence rates across regions and populations. Understanding these trends is crucial for effective resource allocation and the development of targeted public health interventions.

An accessible method for implementing hierarchical models with spatio-temporal abundance data.

PLoS ONE, 2012
A common goal in ecology and wildlife management is to determine the causes of variation in population dynamics over long periods of time and across large spatial scales.

Spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and pathogenic leptospires in feral pigs across New South Wales

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 11, Page 766-776, November 2026.
Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are important reservoirs for zoonotic and livestock pathogens in Australia, but robust information on the spatial distribution of pathogens in pig populations remains limited. We analysed serological data from a systematic, state‐wide surveillance program to investigate spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and ...

Choosing Right Bayesian Tools: A Comparative Study of Modern Bayesian Methods in Spatial Econometric Models

Econometrics
We compare three modern Bayesian approaches, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), Variational Bayes (VB), and Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA), for two classic spatial econometric specifications: the spatial lag model and spatial error model. Our

Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...
