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.
