The European Union's Natura 2000 (N2000) is among the largest international networks of protected areas. One its aims to secure status a predetermined set (targeted) bird and butterfly species. However, nontarget species may also benefit from N2000. We evaluated how terrestrial component this network affects abundance nontargeted, more common based on data long-term volunteer-based monitoring programs in 9602 sites for birds 2001 butterflies. In almost half 155 assessed, particularly...
Abstract Background Understanding coupled human-environment factors which promote Aedes aegypti abundance is critical to preventing the spread of Zika, chikungunya, yellow fever and dengue viruses. High temperatures aridity theoretically make arid lands inhospitable for Ae. mosquitoes, yet their populations are well established in many desert cities. Methods We investigated associations between socioeconomic built environment Maricopa County, Arizona, home Phoenix metropolitan area. County...
West Nile virus (WNV), a mosquitoborne flavivirus,* was first identified in the United States 1999 and reported Arizona 2003 (with 12 human cases); 391 cases were 2004.
Public health practitioners rely on timely surveillance data for planning and decision-making; however, are often subject to delays. Epidemic trend categories, based time-varying effective reproductive number (R
To assess the distribution and clustering of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing incidence over space time, U.S. Department Veteran's Affairs (VA) data were used to describe where when veterans experienced highest proportions test positivity.Data for 6,342,455 who utilized VA services between January 1, 2018, September 30, 2021, assessed COVID-19 positivity. Testing positivity by county mapped focused-cluster tests identified significant around facilities. Spatial cluster analysis...
Purpose: This study aims to identify the contributions of individual and community social determinants health (SDOH), demographic, clinical factors in COVID-19 disease severity. Methods: national cross-sectional focused on hospitalization among those tested for use intensive care, analyzing data 220,848 Veterans between February 20, 2020 October 2021. Multiple logistic regression models were constructed using backwards elimination. The predictive value each model was assessed with a...
