7 AIM: To develop and test a general approach to predicting the effects of climate and climate change on the occurrence of mosquito borne diseases in Canada ( ) OBJECTIVES: 1. Review: Conduct a review of current and potential vector borne disease risks in Canada, as well as modeling approaches for assessing vector borne disease risk. 2. Model development: Develop national maps of the distributions of mosquitoes of public health significance in Canada. 3. Model predictions: Predict the distribution of mosquito vectors and case study pathogens of public health importance in Canada. 4. Case study: Develop and test a conceptual modeling approach to assess the impact of climate change on a vector borne disease in Canada. 4

8 Objective 1: Review: Conduct a review of current and potential vector borne disease risks in Canada, as well as modeling approaches for assessing vector borne disease risk. Key results: 1. Climatic and environmental determinants of vector habitat and abundance are not generalizable. 2. The impact of climate changes will differ by species, and possibly by region. 3. This may necessitate unique prediction models for each species, potentially stratified by region. Hongoh et al. (2009) Biodiversity 5

9 Objective 1: Review: Conduct a review of current and potential vector borne disease risks in Canada, as well as modeling approaches for assessing vector borne disease risk. Evaluation of spatial and statistical modeling approaches for vector mapping: 1.Logistic regression (stepwise automatic) 2.Logistic regression (manually, biological) 3.MARS (Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines) 4.Fuzzy logic modeling (presence only data) 5.MaxEnt (Maximum Entropy) habitat modeling (presence only data) 6

10 Culex pipiens Model A (backward stepwise) Model B (biological, manual) Model C (MARS) V. Hongoh 7

11 Objective 1: Review: Conduct a review of current and potential vector borne disease risks in Canada, as well as modeling approaches for assessing vector borne disease risk. Key results: 1. Standard logistic models are sufficient for species that have strong and simple temperature or environmental dependence (e.g. Culex pipiens, Culex tarsalis). 2. For species with more complicated distributions, presence only modeling approaches are more reliable (Maxent or Fuzzy Logic). 3. The main constraint to mosquito modeling is the high probabilities of false absence observations in vector surveillance data (rendering absence data obstructive to modeling). 4. Off the shelf, automated habitat modeling programs such as MaxEnt may provide easy and efficient (though not necessarily rigorous or highly accurate) vector distributions.

12 Objective 2: Model development: Develop national maps of the distributions of mosquitoes of public health significance in Canada. Collection of national mosquito surveillance data (surveillance discontinued) Presence / absence observations * All provinces except for BC, NFL Table 1.

13 Objective 2: Model development: Develop national maps of the distributions of mosquitoes of public health significance in Canada. Objective 3: Model predictions: Predict the distribution of mosquito vectors and case study pathogens of public health importance in Canada. 10

20 Objective 4: Case study: Develop and test a conceptual modeling approach to assess the impact of climate change on a vector borne disease in Canada. Malaria re emergence in Canada Berrang Ford et al

21 Objective 4: Case study: Develop and test a conceptual modeling approach to assess the impact of climate change on a vector borne disease in Canada. Malaria re emergence in Canada Key results: 1. The distribution of A. quadrimaculatus extends farther north than previously available maps. 2. Competent vectors and imported parasites coincide in southern Ontario during summer months. 3. Despite this, vector are predominantly found in the outer suburban areas of the GTA, while parasite importation is focused in Toronto s downtown core. 4. There is low likelihood of malaria transmission in Ontario, even under increased immigration and climate change, due to limited spatial coincidence of vectors and imported parasites at the local scale. 5. The impact of climate change on vectors will depend on trends in other determinants of transmission Manuscript in preparation: Eckhardt, R., L. Berrang Ford, N. Ross, and D. Buckeridge (In preparation) An assessment of the potential for autochthonous malaria transmission in Ontario, Canada. 18

22 Objective 4: Case study: Develop and test a conceptual modeling approach to assess the impact of climate change on a vector borne disease in Canada. Malaria re emergence in Canada Key results: 1. The importation of malaria cases is strongly associated with low income, high immigrant neighbourhoods (Africa, Asia) in Toronto suburbs, and in proximity to Pearson airport. 2. Location (neighbourhoods) of high risk for importation of new infectious diseases may be predictable. 3. Importation risk is highest during summer months, coinciding with peak vector densities.

Emerging Infectious Diseases. 19

23 Constraints, limitations and bias Lack of data from BC and the United States constrains accurate prediction, particularly in the west and for invasive vector species. We cannot map vectors reliably in the west with current data. 2.Limited pathogen data constrain focus on disease transmission (vs. vector mapping) 3. Mosquito species are ecologically and regionally unique, requiring individual models by species and regionally within Canada (i.e. We need separate models for the east and west, and possibly central Canada). 4.Poor (and discontinued) mosquito surveillance data (particularly absence observations) constrain the accuracy, validity and reliability of current and future maps. 5. The future is uncertain 20

24 Key results and the good news: 1. Given current data sources, simple software approaches may be feasible for vector scenario mapping 2.New pathogen importation into Canada may be spatially predictable, with implications for hotspot surveillance. 3. Determinants of transmission other than climate may mitigate new disease risk (or visa versa). Consideration of climate impacts needs to be combined with understanding of other trends in transmission determinants. 4.Introduction of new vector borne pathogens is probably a larger concern for potential public health burden in Canada than increased incidence of current VBD, highlighting the importance of modeling importation risk (e.g. Biodispora). 21
