Abstract
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) present global health threats, and their emergences are often linked to anthropogenic change. Artificial light at night (ALAN) is one form of anthropogenic change that spans beyond urban boundaries and may be relevant to EIDs through its influence on the behaviour and physiology of hosts and/or vectors. Although West Nile virus (WNV) emergence has been described as peri-urban, we hypothesized that exposure risk could also be influenced by ALAN in particular, which is testable by comparing the effects of ALAN on prevalence while controlling for other aspects of urbanization. By modelling WNV exposure among sentinel chickens in Florida, we found strong support for a nonlinear relationship between ALAN and WNV exposure risk in chickens with peak WNV risk occurring at low ALAN levels. Although our goal was not to discern how ALAN affected WNV relative to other factors, effects of ALAN on WNV exposure were stronger than other known drivers of risk (i.e. impervious surface, human population density). Ambient temperature in the month prior to sampling, but no other considered variables, strongly influenced WNV risk. These results indicate that ALAN may contribute to spatio-temporal changes in WNV risk, justifying future investigations of ALAN on other vector-borne parasites.

1. Introduction
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are among the greatest threats to public health today [1,2]. Most EIDs are zoonotic in origin (70%), in that causative agents spill over to human populations from other species [3,4]. Anthropogenic effects on wildlife, such as habitat fragmentation, sensory pollutants and toxin exposure, can become detrimental to humans in places where humans and wildlife come into contact [5–7]. The recent surge in many EIDs can be attributed to various forms of global change, including climate change and the structure and biological composition of landscapes [3,8,9]. One recent example of an anthropogenically driven zoonotic EID is West Nile virus (WNV), which was introduced to the United States in 1999 [10]. WNV decimated susceptible bird populations, especially corvid species, within the first several years of its arrival, and its propensity to be transmitted by many vector species also made it a source of substantial human and livestock (i.e. horse) disease [11–14]. Now, 20 years since its introduction, WNV continues to cause harm to diverse animal populations, particularly in or near highly human-modified habitats [15,16].
WNV is recognized as a peri-urban arbovirus, as human incidence and songbird seroprevalence are much higher in or near urban habitats [17,18]. Historically, a higher incidence of WNV in or near cities was linked to aspects of environments that influence mosquito success such as local climate and availability of breeding sites [18,19]. The Florida Department of Health surveillance system has closely monitored arbovirus transmission in mosquito breeding hotspots, such as peri-urban drainage systems, since the late twentieth century [20,21]. WNV dynamics resemble other zoonoses in that urban and agricultural predominance affect emergence and transmission [22]. For instance, Lyme disease (caused by Borrelia burgdorferi) and flavivirus infections (including yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya) emerge where competent host and vector communities occur in close proximity to humans [23–25]. Some anthropogenic stressors have been found to affect zoonotic risk, but many conspicuous and common ones have never been considered, including light pollution. One form of light pollution, artificial light at night (ALAN), now covers 18.7% of the continental US and affects 99% of the human population with increases anticipated in the future (e.g. 2.2% increase globally per year from 2012 to 2016 [26]). Further, small areas of urban development can emit light into distant suburban and rural landscapes, suggesting that light pollution effects, and skyglow in particular, may be widespread [27,28].
Light pollution affects multiple host traits with consequences for disease transmission. For instance, in night shift workers, ALAN can affect non-communicable disease risk (e.g. cancer, diabetes, etc.) [29], probably because vertebrate immune systems are ‘fundamentally circadian in nature’ [29–31]. House sparrows, a common passerine reservoir of WNV, experimentally infected with WNV and exposed to modest ALAN (i.e. 5 lux; a full moon on a clear night is 0.3 lux) maintained transmissible WNV titres for 2 days longer than controls but did not experience higher mortality [32,33]. Epidemiologically, this extension of the infectious-to-vector period was estimated to increase outbreak potential by 41% [32]. Host population characteristics also have the capacity to alter disease transmission. For example, avian species diversity is known to affect WNV transmission, but there are no studies to our knowledge that have quantified direct effects of ALAN on avian community composition [34,35].
ALAN also probably alters a multitude of vector traits that affect arbovirus transmission. Arthropod vectors of WNV, mainly Culex spp., are renowned for their flight-to-light behaviours; for those vectors that survive desiccation or depredation, flight-to-light behaviour might concentrate infection risk where light pollution is common [36,37]. WNV can be transmitted by as many as 45 vector species, many of which bite wildlife (including songbirds) and humans, and are abundant across Florida [38–40]. WNV vectors are dense in urban areas, as surface imperviousness is one of the strongest predictors of Culex spp. distribution [41]. Interestingly, Culex spp. are more abundant in areas of moderate ALAN than low or high ALAN during late summer months during peak transmission [42].
Given the current pervasiveness of ALAN, we asked whether light pollution can affect infectious disease dynamics in a part of the US where arboviruses are common and influential, both economically and socially [42]. Specifically, we investigated whether ALAN affected the risk of WNV exposure across several counties of Florida where emergence and spillover has occurred in the recent past [43]. We chose to focus on WNV because it is the most broadly distributed arbovirus and the most common causative agent of viral encephalitis worldwide [44,45]. Using data from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) sentinel chicken WNV surveillance programme [21], we tested whether WNV exposure, as estimated by the number of sentinel chickens undergoing antibody seroconversion, would be related to ALAN exposure. We used mixed-effect models with and without spatial correlation structure to assess the effects of ALAN (in radiance, millicandela m−2) on WNV exposure for four recent years across five counties based on 6468 samples from individual chickens from 1126 surveillance events across 105 unique geographical coordinates, including many peri-urban regions (figure 1). These models also accounted for previously documented and other hypothesized predictors of WNV risk (i.e. variation in temperature, precipitation, soil moisture and several aspects of urbanization).
We hypothesized that WNV exposure risk would have a nonlinear relationship with ALAN, being greatest in areas of moderate ALAN, and lowest in non- and intensely light-polluted areas. We made this specific and yet complex prediction because we expected vector density and/or host competence to be highest in areas with intermediate light pollution [32]. As above, house sparrows were more infectious under these ALAN conditions than natural light-dark conditions. Also, we found previously that some Culex mosquitoes were most abundant in areas of moderate ALAN during WNV transmission season, indicating there might be combined effects of flight-to-light behaviour from dark areas, but increased vector predation in intensely illuminated areas [42,47–49]. Active avoidance of ALAN by passerines, likely in part due to increased predation risk or negative physiological effects, could also decrease host density in brightly illuminated places, subsequently reducing opportunities for transmission [34,48,50–52].
2. Methods
(a). Sentinel data
Sentinel chicken data were shared by the Florida Department of Health offices in Leon, Manatee, Nassau, Sarasota, St. Johns, Volusia and Walton counties for the years 2015–2018. The data were provided as the monthly total number of sentinel chickens per site that tested positive for WNV antibodies. WNV case counts result from a weekly sampling of either 6 (89.5% of observations) or 4 (10.5% observations) sentinel chickens located at each site [43]. Once a chicken tested positive for WNV antibodies, it was removed from a coop and replaced with a WNV-naïve chicken, ensuring that all positives are new exposures. Coops housing sentinel chickens were occasionally moved small distances (typically less than 0.001 degrees or less than approximately 100 m, but as much as 11 km), resulting in small differences in coop locations across years. As such, we used the unique coordinates from each sentinel chicken sampling location to determine the anthropogenic components of night sky brightness in radiance (ALAN), weather variables (soil moisture, temperature, precipitation) and urbanization variables (human population density, anthropogenic impervious surface extent, human footprint index, see below) at the time and place of sampling of each chicken coop.
(b). Environmental data
Because multiple dimensions of the environment, including ALAN, vary along an urbanization gradient, understanding which aspects are responsible for elevated WNV risk is challenging. As such, we assembled geospatial data reflective of several dimensions of urbanization: percentage anthropogenic impervious surface from the 2011 National Landcover Database (30 m resolution [53]), human population density from the 2010 US Census (1 km resolution [28]), human footprint index data reflective of conditions in 2009 (1 km resolution [54]), plus ALAN estimates from the world atlas of artificial night sky brightness (30-arc seconds, i.e. approx. 1 km resolution [46]), which is an improved measure of NASA's VIIRS data using zenith sky brightness confirmed with handheld sky quality monitors [55]. This resource provides the anthropogenic component of night sky brightness in radiance (microcandela/m2, henceforth denoted as μcd m−2) and is regarded as the most relevant available option at the spatial scale of our study, particularly as zenith sky brightness is more highly correlated with ground-level ALAN exposure than VIIRs satellite data [56]. We temporally harmonized high-resolution monthly cumulative precipitation and monthly mean temperature data (0.8 km resolution) from the PRISM database [57] and monthly mean soil moisture estimates (3 km resolution) generated from NASA's Sentinel 1/SMAP platform [58] to match the month of sentinel chicken sampling. Additionally, to account for potential lags in conditions that could favour vector abundance, we also collected data for these variables from the month prior to sampling. Because greater than 94% of the positive detections of WNV occurred after May of each year, which is similar to other studies [59,60], we restricted our analyses to June–December. Additionally, because mean soil moisture estimates for the month of surveillance and the prior month were not available for all records, we restricted analyses to those records with complete environmental data, resulting in a final dataset of 6468 samples from individual chickens from 1126 surveillance events spanning 80 sites and 105 unique spatial locations.
(c). Data analysis
We modelled incidence of WNV seroprevalence using mixed-effect models with and without a spatially explicit exponential correlation structure with negative binomial error and implemented in the fitme function of the R package spaMM 2.7.5 [61] and the glmm.nb function of the R package lme4 1.1-21 [62]. We used a negative binomial error rather than a Poisson error in our models as many preliminary Poisson models did not converge. Models that did converge received less support from the data than identical models with negative binomial error (i.e. ΔAIC ≥ 30). Because of the high number of zeros in the response variable, we also checked models for zero-inflation using the testZeroInflation function in the R package DHARMa 0.2.4 [63] but found no evidence that a zero-inflated term was necessary.
Given the hierarchical and repeated sampling regime of sentinel chicken surveillance programs, we included nested random effects of sampling month within site within the county. For fixed effects, we built a model that included ALAN, the three variables reflective of urbanization (i.e. impervious surface extent, population density, human footprint) and monthly mean soil moisture, precipitation total and mean temperature, plus a year to account for inter-annual variation. All continuous variables were centred and scaled to facilitate direct comparisons of effects and, based on our hypothesis that WNV seroprevalence would peak at intermediate ALAN exposure levels, we also modelled the effect of ALAN as a second-order polynomial. Preliminary data exploration revealed a nonlinear relationship between WNV seroprevalence and monthly mean temperature, which was also best explained by a second-order polynomial.
From the fully parameterized model described above, we explored whether substituting monthly soil moisture, precipitation total and mean temperature values with the corresponding values from the previous month improved model performance using Akaike information criterion (AIC) values. We retained soil moisture and precipitation totals from the months in which chickens were sampled. However, subsequent analyses included the monthly mean temperature of the prior month because this time-lagged form of the temperature variable received stronger support than the monthly mean temperature of the month of sampling (ΔAIC > 90). We used AIC scores to gauge whether polynomial terms for ALAN and mean temperature of the previous month improved model performance over linear effects of each. We also used AIC scores to arbitrate between spatial and non-spatial models, to evaluate the support for using an offset to account for the number of chickens sampled per site per month, and to test whether there was any evidence for polynomial effects of predictor variables other than ALAN that reflected urbanization. We considered models with ΔAIC scores ≤ 2.0 as equally competitive and determined that a parameter had a strong effect on WNV seroprevalence patterns when its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) did not overlap zero. Finally, because different approaches to model selection can result in different results [64], we evaluated relative model support using two additional information criteria in the spaMM package: the conditional AIC (cAIC) [65], which is conditional on the realized values of the random effects, and the dispersion AIC (dAIC), which focuses on dispersion parameters [66].
Finally, we conducted two forms of model diagnostics. First, we checked for potential multicollinearity and redundancy among predictor variables with variance inflation factor (VIF) and considered VIF > 10 as potentially problematic [67]. The mean temperature of the previous month, and its quadratic term, were the only parameters with suspect VIF scores. However, centring this variable at its mean resulted in VIF < 2.0 for each variable. Second, we assessed model performance with qqplots and residual versus expected value plots using the simulateResiduals function in the R package DHARMa 0.2.4 [63].
3. Results and discussion
ALAN was a strong but nonlinear predictor of WNV exposure risk in Florida (figure 2a). Models with and without spatial correlation structure (or an offset to account for variation in the number of chicken samples per site; see electronic supplementary material, text) were equally competitive (table 1) and included qualitatively similar parameter estimates for ALAN. Alternative model selection criteria also confirmed model rankings via AIC and relative competitiveness. Specifically, we found that WNV risk rises rapidly from dark conditions and peaks at low anthropogenic radiance intensities (i.e. less than 0.5), but then declines with higher ALAN exposure (figure 3a). This peak was slightly lower than expected but overall consistent with our hypothesis.

Besides the consistent influence of ALAN, all models provided strong evidence for a lag effect of temperature whereby high temperature (greater than 25°C) during the previous month strongly and positively influenced WNV seroprevalence (figures 2b and 3c). By contrast, increases in monthly cumulative precipitation were negatively related to WNV seroprevalence (figure 3d), which is also consistent with prior work [68]. By contrast with previous reports [17,18], we found no influence of two metrics of urbanization, human footprint index or percentage anthropogenic impervious surface, on WNV seroprevalence in chickens. We found mixed support for an influence of human population density on WNV seroprevalence where two of the four models suggested there was a positive relationship (figure 3b; electronic supplementary material, text). Additionally, there was also some evidence for inter-annual variation in WNV prevalence; nonetheless, we found consistent polynomial ALAN effects on WNV risk across several years (figure 3a).
To ensure that the relationship between WNV seroprevalence and ALAN did not reflect nonlinear effects of other variables characteristic of urbanization, we also tested for polynomial effects of human population density, human footprint index and percentage anthropogenic impervious surface on WNV exposure risk. No polynomial terms for these variables were supported, and the model with only linear terms for all predictors (including weather variables and ALAN) received the least support (table 2). Alternative model selection criteria (cAIC and dAIC) led to the same conclusions. Finally, based on the polynomial effects of both temperature of the previous month and the natural log of ALAN, we conducted a post hoc analysis with a model containing the interaction between the two, but the interaction decreased model performance (ΔAIC = 7.564; table 2).

The use of radiance in units of microcandelas per m2 in this study is admittedly hard to translate into values of light pollution measurable at fine spatial scales. Radiance values in our dataset appear relatively low, but electronic supplementary material, figure S1 shows most ALAN values at coop sites range from 0 to 2.5, so the peak in WNV cases around less than 0.5 can be interpreted as low-intensity light pollution. Previous experimental studies measured ALAN in units of lux using handheld light metres in enclosed facilities, which served as the foundation for our hypotheses [50]. Whereas others have emphasized that data from the new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness that we chose to use here are highly related to light pollution levels at ground level [55,69], a critical component to future work involving ALAN will be understanding how remotely sensed values translate to other common metrics for quantifying light exposure, such as lux [70]. Thus, although our models suggest that WNV risk increases from the darkest sites in our dataset to peak in areas exposed to some degree of light pollution, we are limited by the current availability of data, namely, that our ALAN measure captures only the artificial component of night sky brightness. Notwithstanding the importance of developing methods to better describe light pollution at finer spatial scales, below we discuss how light pollution might exacerbate the risk of WNV and other EIDs, and why WNV risk exhibited a nonlinear relationship with ALAN.
(a). Why does artificial light at night affect West Nile virus exposure?
The relationship between ALAN and WNV exposure risk we described was not altogether surprising. As highlighted earlier, ALAN can extend the infectious period of one avian host; perhaps similar effects occur in other host species [42]. Other studies strongly suggest that ALAN could also increase the local density and feeding period of crepuscular vectors, which might significantly alter opportunities for transmission [71]. Such effects are particularly likely because many vectors exhibit flight-to-light behaviour, which could further concentrate risk spatio-temporally [37].
(b). Nonlinearity of artificial light at night effects on West Nile virus exposure risk
Our results suggest that although WNV exposure risk initially increased with ALAN, it subsequently declined towards the most intensely lit sites in our study. Previously, we found that hosts exposed to broad-spectrum ALAN incurred greater mortality risk to WNV, which may create a disease ‘sink’ for some avian hosts in highly light-polluted areas [50]. As above, surveys of Culex mosquitoes in the Tampa Bay region also suggest that vectors are more abundant in moderately light-polluted areas than non- and highly light-polluted areas during the WNV transmission season [42]. Hosts and vectors are probably both at higher risk of predation under a full moon or street lights or other sources of ALAN, which may contribute to lower host and vector densities in intensely light-polluted areas [48,72]. Similarly, individual birds avoid light exposure at night, which would further decrease host density in intensely light-polluted areas [34]. Many characteristics of highly light-polluted areas (e.g. fragmented habitat) support fewer hosts and fewer vector breeding sources and may be subject to extensive vector control efforts [73–75]. Altogether, the recruitment of vectors to light-polluted areas, combined with reduced viral resistance, predator avoidance behaviour, and/or host or vector mortality effects could all contribute to the observed nonlinear relationship between ALAN intensity and WNV exposure risk. To better understand the mechanisms underlying the nonlinear relationship between WNV exposure and ALAN, we advocate for future research on the light intensity-dependent effects of ALAN on vector survival, vector bite rate and host susceptibility [71].
(c). Weather, precipitation and West Nile virus
In addition to ALAN, an average temperature of the prior month predicted WNV exposure in parts of Florida. It is unsurprising that this climate component was important in our models, as many aspects of WNV transmission are temperature dependent (e.g. vector development, survival and competence) [76]. Indeed, most vectors of WNV thrive when temperatures increase over summer months, as high temperatures accelerate vector growth rates and extrinsic incubation periods (i.e. the time required to develop a transmissible virus in salivary glands) [77]. Periods of heavy rainfall and the availability of water sources for breeding can also sustain large populations of Culex nigripalpus, a moderately competent WNV vector in south Florida [78,79]. Relatedly, irrigation in the Western United States has sustained populations of WNV vectors during dry periods, creating suburban hotspots [80]. Although water sources are required for mosquito breeding, drought is a significant predictor of high WNV infection rates in Culex pipiens and restuans [81]. Drought can indirectly increase vector abundance by decreasing mosquito predator density during drought years; however, these effects are typically time-lagged [82,83]. Alternatively, contradicting data indicate that higher WNV incidence may reflect changes in host competence rather than vector success [68]. While drought could be considered in future studies, we argue that the inclusion of rainfall data here enhanced our ability to control for natural factors at a higher resolution when asking how other variables affect WNV exposure risk.
(d). Urbanization and zoonotic exposure risk
Urbanization has long been viewed as a driver of WNV prevalence [18], but here, multiple metrics of urbanization had no to little explanatory power for WNV risk. Other studies have concluded that urban land use and human population density were important predictors of inter-annual WNV prevalence over large geographic regions [22,84,85]. These environmental features are hypothesized to drive WNV incidence due to decreased host diversity in urban areas, altered vector ecology (e.g. small water sources ideal for mosquito breeding) and/or increased host susceptibility to infection [86,87]. However, besides mixed support for a positive influence of human population density, we found minimal effects of urbanization on risk. One potential reason we did not detect relationships with urbanization might be due to a lack of data from the most urbanized areas of Florida. However, our study did include locations where anthropogenic surface was 67% and the human footprint index was 46.28 on a scale of 0–50, so we were able to capture diverse intensities of human inhabitation [54]. It is also possible that our urbanization metrics are distinct from the ones used in previous studies, as sentinel chicken sites typically are not located in city centres (electronic supplementary material, text). Further exploration of how ALAN interacts with other aspects of urbanization across the landscape to influence WNV risk will be valuable.
(e). Conclusions and implications
Our study suggests that light pollution might affect arbovirus infection risk in Florida and perhaps elsewhere. Investigating how host and vector responses to ALAN vary with the intensity level of light will be required to fully understand patterns in WNV exposure risk. The consideration of wild bird or vector data in the future would provide a more comprehensive description of how light at night might be affecting WNV outbreaks, whether it be Culex spp. derived or reservoir driven, and provide information regarding effective intervention strategies. Although additional studies are needed to assess the commonness of relationships between ALAN and WNV risk in other areas, mitigation opportunities exist that could ameliorate the negative consequences of ALAN on wildlife and humans [29]. Furthermore, we emphasize the need to investigate effects of ALAN on other passerine reservoirs of WNV, as songbirds, rather than sentinel chickens, drive transmission [88]. In particular, we should consider important peri-urban and rural reservoirs such as northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) and American robins (Turdus migratorius) as they dominate avian communities in areas with low-intensity ALAN and are quite competent for WNV [35].
