Ecological Niche Modeling: An Introduction for Veterinarians and Epidemiologists
Most infectious diseases in animals are not distributed randomly. Instead, diseases in livestock and wildlife are predictable in terms of the geography, time, and species affected. Ecological niche modeling approaches have been crucial to the advancement
