The primary focus of this research is on West Nile virus, aims to use climate and land use factors to model spatiotemporal variations of competent vector distribution and infection, using a spatiotemporal statistic. The model is expected to predict an up-coming emerging of WNV and detect areas with high risk, which is vital for implementation of WNV preparedness and prevention plans to reduce risk of WNV infection in human and animals.
