Özet
We aimed to characterize an environmental niche driving the distribution of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Turkey, using a georeferenced collection of cases reported between 2003 and 2008 and a set of climate and vegetation features. We used mean monthly air temperatures and Normalized Derived Vegetation Index (NDVI) values, at a resolution of 0·1°, as well as climate features at and below the surface. We computed significant differences in monthly variables between positive and negative sites, within the range of distribution of the tick vector. Seasonal climate (growth season and summer length, accumulated temperatures in winter) and vegetation components (anomalies in NDVI data) were analysed. Fragmentation of habitat was obtained from NDVI monthly data at a resolution of 1 km. Neither single climate or vegetation variables, nor any individual seasonal component, accounted in …
