Detecting plague-host abundance from space: Using a spectral vegetation index to identify occupancy of great gerbil burrows
In Kazakhstan, plague outbreaks occur when its main host, the great gerbil, exceeds an abundance threshold. These live in family groups in burrows, which can be mapped using remote sensing. Occupancy (percentage of burrows occupied) is a good proxy for abundance and hence the possibility of an outbr...
