摘要: Climate and environmental data were used to estimate the risk of testing positive for antibodies bluetongue (BTV) epizootic hemorrhagic disease viruses (EHDV) in cattle Illinois western Indiana over three transmission seasons (2000-2002). The risks BTV EHDV seropositivity positively associated with temperature during every year study. was also forest patchiness two years. During 2002, a unusually high spring rainfall, not significantly but rainfall did have moderating effect on temperature. Maps predicted probability exposure or created using these best-fitting models show distinctly different spatial patterns within same population.
