Modelling the persistence and control of Rift Valley fever virus in a spatially heterogeneous landscape

Nature Communications, 2021
Rift Valley fever is a zoonotic haemorrhagic fever with complex transmission dynamics influenced by environmental variables and animal movements. Here, the authors develop a metapopulation model incorporating these factors and use it to identify the main
