Suitability maps for Ebola virus spillover, Guinea (2013), Congo (2001, 2003) and Gabon (2001)
A Spatial Multi Criteria Evaluation was applied to map a suitability index (ranging from 0: low suitability to <br> 1: high suitability) for Ebola spillover from animals to humans in regions in Guinea, (2013), Congo (2001, 2003) and Gabon (2001).(/br) Variables included in the study: 1) presence of animal species that are potential reservoirs of Ebola or potentially involved in the transmission of Ebola virus to humans, <br> 2) environmental factors potentially impacting the contact between wildlife and human population, <br> 3) climatic factors potentially associated with the virus dynamics or the host ecology, <br> 4) factors related to the consumption and commercialization of bushmeat. The relative importance of the different factors was assessed from bibliographic review. A full description of the methodology is presented in (Lee Cruz, 2020).
