Anticipating the international spread of Zika virus from Brazil
- Creates a global Zika virus spread model by adapting a seasonal model for dengue that integrates global ecological niche data for Aedes aegypti and albopictus and worldwide temperature profiles
- Identifies airports in Brazil within 50 km of areas conducive to year-round Zika virus transmission
- Maps the final destinations of international travellers departing from these airports from September, 2014, to August, 2015, using worldwide flight itinerary data from the International Air Transport Association
