Limitation of temporal ‘correlative’ approaches:

1 – Spatial (and other forms) of population heterogeneity 2 – Nonlinear responses to environmental forcing 3 – Everything is seasonal… explanations for seasonality are hard

Motivation

  • Spatial effects have not been considered before in the

response of cholera to climate variability. We may expect global climate drivers such as ENSO to operate at regional scales.

  • We still have a poor understanding of proximal mechanisms

that mediate the effect of global climate drivers in urban environments

  • Statistical models in the literature cannot be used effectively

for prediction because of their short lead times (ranging from 0 to 1 months )

  • Spatial heterogeneity: the dynamics between groups are significantly

different (p-value=0.0001)

  • Local effect: the state of neighboring districts matters (p-value =0.01) but

a weaker effect

  • Interaction between spatial structure and climate forcing: the parameters

governing the effect of ENSO are significantly different between the groups (p-value= 0.03); and similarly for flooding (p-value= 0.015) > ENSO is a significant covariate (p=value < 0.0001); lag

  • Cholera outbreaks in Dhaka (and Bangladesh) are driven by

climate variability (ENSO and flooding). The effect of El Niño is partly through precipitation and associated flooding.

  • Population susceptibility shows pronounced geographic

variation within Dhaka, with a part of the city acting as a susceptible core , in a way that highlights the key role of sanitary and associated socio-economic conditions.

Some conclusions

  • Model with ENSO better explains the retrospective data

including the large epidemic of 1998

  • It also predicts the low incidence of ‘out-of-fit’ data

during non-EL Nino years

  • It overpredicts the response to the 2015-16 event.
  • This appears to reflect a decrease susceptibility to

flooding in the city, and perhaps a decadal change in rainfall conditions

Some general implications

  • Dense urban areas can enhance transmission and facilitate

more endemic dynamics

  • In these areas, enhanced responses to climate forcing may

be seen even in infections that are not considered climate sensitive to begin with

  • These responses are reflected primarily in changes to the

seasonality

  • More epidemic behavior, in areas where disease persistence

throughout the year is more marginal, will exhibit responses to climate forcing at multiannual rather than seasonal scales

Conclusions and Implications

  • Cholera epidemics appear primarily limited by the local depletion of

susceptibles

  • Explicit ‘space’ matters (the dynamics are distributed in space or in a

network)

  • Stochasticity (demographic noise) might be essential to the epidemic

dynamics of infectious diseases, beyond the recognized effect of small population size on extinction.
