Great conference today @JHMed_ID about fever in a returning traveler from Cameroon. One aspect to consider is the regional risk for zoonotic and vector-borne pathogens. Our research found this particularly important given the diverse ecoregions in Cameroon

Important findings by @wellcometrust about tools for modelling climate and infectious diseases. Only 1/4 of tools could be used by decision-makers and also low representation of LMICs. We found similar barriers to predictive maps of zoonoses in our study:
This project with @kynjabo and Judith Torimiro builds off of our prior collaboration with national researchers and policymakers in Cameroon to integrate local knowledge into predictions for emerging viruses and make these maps more useful https://t.co/A0D
@AFredston It turns out that when you dig into this stuff there are major questions about whether these maps ever really replace expert opinion or local knowledge or even if people just know they’re bad and kinda move on with their day https://t.co/vkIxWMJ
RT @ColinJCarlson: This is a problem not just for Zika. Disease maps are often built for the entire world by folks in an office, without st…
