Basic plan

  • Bring up observations from Brazil;
  • How did Zika spread around the country;
  • Apply lat-long to map locations previously collected;
  • Try to predict potential areas that could be affected by Zika in Texas
  • Given a huge set of features (described into 'Analysed and collected features'), rank and select the most relevant group
    • Narrow down to at least 3 input features with well-shaped data.

Analysed and collected features

  • Population
    • Density
  • Lat-long
  • Incidents
  • Water
  • Different Countries
  • Co-related diseases
    • Transmitter (mosquito species)
    • Disease groups (chikungunya, dengue, febre amarela)
  • Tiemseries analysis
  • Sewer + sanitation information
  • Cultural + education aspects
  • Weather
    • seasons
    • Temperature
    • humidity
  • Aedes Lifecycle
  • Epidemic factors
    • Disease timings
    • virus propagation
    • transmission stages

Steps for geo-mapping

  • collect from diva-gis.org into the appropriate format (topojson, geojson)
  • upload the collected file to mapshaper.org
