Example disease and vector distribution maps from the VBD-AIR tool. The predicted distribution of (a) chikungunya outbreak risk based on geolocated data on recorded outbreaks since 2008 combined with satellite-derived environmental covariates within a boosted regression tree species distribution prediction model. The color scale shows predicted unsuitable to suitable conditions for outbreaks as a continuous scale from yellow to dark blue. (b) climatic and environmental suitability for Aedes albopictus presence based on field survey data combined with satellite-derived environmental covariates within a boosted regression tree species distribution prediction model. The colour scale shows predicted unsuitable to suitable conditions as a continuous scale from yellow to dark blue.
