| Summary: | "The Vector-borne disease airport importation risk (VBD-Air) tool aims to help better define the roles of airports and airlines in the transmission and spread of insect-borne human diseases. It represents a flexible tool that combines multiple geospatial datasets to inform on the relative risks between differing airports, flight routes, times of year, diseases, and their vectors, in promoting the movement of passengers infected by vector- borne diseases and the vectors that spread these diseases. These datasetsinclude global disease riskmaps, vector presence maps, air travel network and capacity information, and global climatic datasets"--User guide. |
