Predicting the current and future potential distributions of lymphatic filariasis in Africa using maximum entropy ecological niche modelling.
Modelling the spatial distributions of human d2 gul parasite species is crucial to understanding the environmental determinants of infection as well as for guiding the planning of control programmes.Here, we use ecological niche modelling to map the current potential distribution of the macroparasitic disease, lymphatic filariasis (LF), in Africa,
