Description:
Initial work has shown that emerging infectious disease outbreaks can be modeled spatially (Jones et al, Nature, forthcoming). We have developed a methodology to deepen this model to give greater explanatory and predictive power. The intern will help assemble data on additional drivers, such as human travel, livestock practices, anitiobiotic use, and others, and also assist in analyzing spatial patterns.
