CSIC ORCID ; Torres, María José; Gortázar, Christian CSIC ORCID ; Vicente, Joaquín CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2014 | Editor: | Public Library of Science | Citación: | PLoS ONE 9(12): e115608 (2014) | Resumen: | Complex ecological and epidemiological systems require multidisciplinary and innovative research. Low cost unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) can provide information on the spatial pattern of hosts’ distribution and abundance, which is crucial as regards modelling the determinants of disease transmission and persistence on a fine spatial scale. In this context we have studied the spatial epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) in the ungulate community of Doñana National Park (South-western Spain) by modelling species host (red deer, fallow deer and cattle) abundance at fine spatial scale. The use of UAS high-resolution images has allowed us to collect data to model the environmental determinants of host abundance, and in a further step to evaluate their relationships with the spatial risk of TB throughout the ungulate community. We discuss the ecological, epidemiological and logistic conditions under which UAS may contribute to study the wildlife/livestock sanitary interface, where the spatial aggregation of hosts becomes crucial. These findings are relevant for planning and implementing research, fundamentally when managing disease in multi-host systems, and focusing on risky areas. Therefore, managers should prioritize the implementation of control strategies to reduce disease of conservation, economic and social relevance. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0115608 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/109414 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0115608 | E-ISSN: | 1932-6203 |
