Journal Article
Ndolo, V. A., Redding, D., Deka, M. A., Salzer, J. S., Vieira, A. R., Onyuth, H., …Conlan, A. J. K. (2022). The potential distribution of Bacillus anthracis suitability across Uganda using INLA. Scientific reports, 12(19967), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-24281-8

To reduce the veterinary, public health, environmental, and economic burden associated with anthrax outbreaks, it is vital to identify the spatial distribution of areas suitable for Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of the disease. Bayesian app... Read More about The potential distribution of Bacillus anthracis suitability across Uganda using INLA.
