Abstract:
|
In this paper, we build a spatio-temporal disease spread model by combining disease surveillance and animal movement data. We propose a binary Generalized Linear Mixed Effect Model (GLMM) with latent spatio-temporal random effects that capture mechanistic models of infectious disease dynamics and spatio-temporal spread. We consider a Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model for local disease progression and use host movement data to inform spatio-temporal rates of transmission. We also develop methods that allow for Euler approximations of this mechanistic process to be efficiently estimated within a probit regression model. We apply this model to elk serology data of Brucellosis in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) combined with the GPS data of 1400 collared elk.
