Query: Mapping of Ebola virus spillover: Suitability and seasonal variability
  at the landscape scale   The unexpected Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa in 2014 involving the
Zaire ebolavirus made clear that other regions outside Central Africa, its
previously documented niche, were at risk of future epidemics. The complex
transmission cycle and a lack of epidemiological data make mapping areas at
risk of the disease challenging. We used a Geographic Information System-based
multicriteria evaluation (GIS-MCE), a knowledge-based approach, to identify
areas suitable for Ebola virus spillover to humans in regions of Guinea, Congo
and Gabon where Ebola viruses already emerged. We identified environmental,
climatic and anthropogenic risk factors and potential hosts from a literature
review. Geographical data layers, representing risk factors, were combined to
produce suitability maps of Ebola virus spillover at the landscape scale. Our
maps show high spatial and temporal variability in the suitability for Ebola
virus spillover at a fine regional scale. Reported spillover events fell in
areas of intermediate to high suitability in our maps, and a sensitivity
analysis showed that the maps produced were robust. There are still important
gaps in our knowledge about what factors are associated with the risk of Ebola
virus spillover. As more information becomes available, maps produced using the
GIS-MCE approach can be easily updated to improve surveillance and the
prevention of future outbreaks.
