These research questions are: (1) Do spatial associations exist between the linear (edge) density of LULC boundaries and VBID occurrence? (2) Do patterns of spatial associations repeat over time? (3) Do patterns of spatial associations repeat across space?130 pagesenCopyright 2017 JOSHUA SCOTT WEINSTEINGeographyEpidemiologyLand use planningFragmentationInfectious DiseaseLandscape MetricsLand UseWNVZikaDissertation
