Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, North Atlantic Coast CESU: The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to develop models that quantify and predict the evolving risk of vector-borne diseases, and can be leveraged to develop effective control and management actions, design strategies to optimally allocate limited resources, and combat future disease threats. Vector-borne diseases have severe and continued impacts on the health of humans, domestic animals and wildlife nationally and internationally. This research will specifically target improving and expanding capacity of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the wildlife health field at large to leverage readily available ⿿big data⿝ and computer vision approaches to examine, at a broad-scale, micro-habitat factors affecting vector populations within urban landscapes. The overarching objective of this project is to develop new tools that will increase understanding of current and future risk of vector-borne diseases, and drivers of vector populations responsible for disease of humans, domestic animals and wildlife.
