From: Distributional ecology of Andes hantavirus: a macroecological approach
Hantavirus ecological niche model visualized in environmental space. Model predictions of human HPS cases (red) and seropositive rodents (green) displayed in a multidimensional environmental space (principal components 1, 2, and 3 obtained from the original bioclimatic layers). Note the considerable overlap of environments occupied by human cases and hantavirus seropositive rodents. This suggests that the presence of seropositive rodents may explain and predict spillover events (transmission of hantavirus from rodents to humans)
