Forecast of Barmah Forest Virus disease in relation to variations of temperature and rainfall
Viewed:
2114
Data was obtained on notified Barmah Forest Virus (BFV) cases, climate (maximum and minimum temperature and rainfall), socio-economic and tidal conditions for current period 2000–2008 for coastal regions in Queensland. Grid-data on future climate projections for 2025, 2050 and 2100 were also obtained. Logistic regression models were built to forecast the potential risk of BFV disease distribution under existing climatic, socio-economic and tidal conditions. The model was applied to estimate the potential geographic distribution of BFV outbreaks under climate change scenarios.
The figure shows: (a) Geographical distribution of BFV disease under current climatic conditions for Queensland's entire coastal regions, (b) forecast of potential probabilities of risk of BFV disease under climate change scenarios for 2025, (c) 2050 and (d) 2100.
