摘要: Background West Nile virus (WNV) emerged as a threat to public and veterinary health in the Midwest United States 2001 continues cause significant morbidity mortality annually. To investigate biotic abiotic factors associated with disease incidence, cases of reported human caused by West state Iowa were aggregated census block groups for years 2002–2006. Spatially explicit data on landscape, demographic, climatic conditions collated analyzed groups. Statistical tests differences between means distributions variables without WNV incidence carried out. Entomological from considered at level add context potential ecological events taking place.
