Abstract
Francesca Dagostin is an environmental engineer, working as a researcher in the Applied Ecology Group at Fondazione Edmund Mach. Her main interests concern the analysis of environmental and ecological data and the development of statistical models to assess the influence of environmental drivers on vector-borne diseases. Following this presentation, he was asked a few questions by MOOD’s Working Package 6 OpenGeoHub’s communication experts.

My name is Francesca Agustin. I'm an environmental engineer and I'm working as a researcher at Edmond Muck Foundation in the Applied Ecology Unit. My research within the MOOD project is focused on the assessment of drivers
for disease emergence. Specifically, I'm working on tick-borne encephalitis TBE risk assessment. Tick-borne encephalitis has become a growing health problem throughout Europe, but also in other parts of the world. And it is really difficult to identify TBE for chip infection, so new TBE hotspots.
So this is what initiated this study because TBE is strongly related to its climatic, ecological and environmental drivers. So it is really important to assess all of these factors to have a comprehensive understanding of where new TBE focus will emerge in the future.
So we performed this study at a continental scale, so it was really difficult to retrieve data with this high spatial resolution with a good quality. So it was really important for us to be within the MOOD project framework because one of
the aims of the project is to provide disease and covariate data at the highest possible spatial resolution. And we relied on this data and thanks to the MOOD project, we were able to overcome this challenge and map this disease together with its drivers for the whole continent of Europe.
So based on the outputs of this study, we plan to build a risk model to identify areas across Europe that might face disease emergence in the future. So this will be our next steps, our next challenges. And by the end of the MOOD project, we aim to provide these tools to public health practitioners as a useful source to identify risk areas across Europe.
