Abstract

A degree-day (DD) model of West Nile virus capable of forecasting transmission risk in the continental United States of America one week in advance using a 50-km grid is available online at https://sites.google.com/site/arbovirusmap/. Daily averages of historical risk based on temperatures for 1994-2003 are available at 10-km resolution. Transmission risk maps can be downloaded from 2010 to the present. The model can be adapted to work with any arbovirus for which the temperature-related parameters are known, e.g. Rift Valley fever virus. To more effectively assess virus establishment and transmission, the model incorporates “compound risk” maps and forecasts, which includes livestock density as a parameter
