Biologically Informed Individual-Based Network Model for Rift Valley Fever in the US and Evaluation of Mitigation Strategies.

For example, if a species tends to have an increasing trend of above-normal population density each season across the sampled years, then any year that RVFV may arrive at a location in the study area, we can assume that abundant individuals of this species would live long enough to feed on an infected cow, permit viral replication and dissemination, and be able to transmit the virus to a naïve cow.
