Understanding how climate dictates the timing and potential of mosquito-borne viral transmission is essential for preparedness of public health systems and design of control strategies. We developed the Mosquito-borne Viral Suitability Estimator (MVSE) software package for the R programming environment. The package estimates a suitability index based on a climate-driven mathematical expression for the basic reproductive number (R0). By accounting for local climatic variables, as well as viral, vector and human priors, suitability can be estimated for specific regions, hosts, vectors and viral species.

MVSE v0.3 and v1.01r are available for download in this repo.

UPDATE Oct/2021: note that a correction has been made to the documentation of v1.01r. The most recent version is the file "MVSE_v1.01r_corrections_to_documentation.zip". No changes have been made to the code itself.

Realistic Workplace Simulations that Show Applicant Skills in Action

Skillfully transforms hiring through AI-powered skill simulations that show you how candidates actually perform before you hire them. Our platform helps companies cut through AI-generated resumes and rehearsed interviews by validating real capabilities in action. Through dynamic job specific simulations and skill-based assessments, companies like Bloomberg and McKinsey have cut screening time by 50% while dramatically improving hire quality.
