Figure 3. Updated map showing areas most environmentally suitable for the zoonotic transmission of Ebola virus.
Areas closer to dark red (1) are most environmentally similar to locations reporting Ebola virus occurrences; areas in light yellow (0) are least similar. Countries with borders outlined are those which are predicted to contain at-risk areas for zoonotic transmission based on a thresholding approach. Output displayed generated from model using the three consolidated bat covariates.
Figure 3—figure supplement 1. Absolute differences between previous and revised maps.
Generated by subtracting the original eLife publication pixel probabilities from the newly generated values and restricted to those areas determined to be at-risk. Areas in yellow are essentially consistent. Areas in purple have probability values greater than the previous output; areas in green have probability values lower than previous outputs.
