Detecting disease progression from animal movement using hidden Markov models

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
We demonstrate how (H)HMMs can be tailored to different epidemiological scenarios and provide a template workflow for developing and selecting Hidden Markov models to infer disease status from animal movement data. Identifying infection before mortality occurs offers a valuable early‐warning tool for population managers, reduces reliance on difficult ...

Silent Circulation of Rift Valley Fever in Humans, Botswana, 2013–2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We evaluated the prevalence of Rift Valley fever virus IgG and IgM in human serum samples (n = 1,276) collected in 2013–2014 in northern Botswana. Our findings provide evidence of active circulation of this virus in humans in the absence of clinical ...
