Table 5. List of common decisions made regarding a public health and vector control response to WNV.

Letters correspond to models in Tables 1–4 and indicate models with an appropriate spatial or temporal resolution to inform the decision. Note that this pertains to the scale on which predictions are made and provides no information on the accuracy of the model predictions. As such, models with appropriate scale, but insufficient accuracy, would not be useful in an operational context.
