Thermal thresholds increase the vulnerability of coastal Los Angeles to temperature-linked increases in West Nile virus transmission

This data contributed to the statistical/machine learning analysis in Skaff et al. Thermal thresholds increase the vulnerability of coastal Los Angeles to temperature-linked increases in West Nile virus transmission. It contains the environmental predictors that were included in the random forest and mediation analyses presented in the study. Though not included here, mosquito surveillance data used in the study are publicly accessible by data request to CalSurv: https://calsurv.org/assets/files/calsurv_data_policy.pdf. Also, The location, onset date, and hospitalization date of human West Nile non-neuroinvasive and neuroinvasive disease cases can be requested directly from the California Department of Public Health, Infectious Diseases Branch, Surveillance and Statistics Section https://www.cdph.ca.gov/CDPH Document Library/ControlledForms/cdph9078.pdf.The code used to conduct this analysis is available on GitHub: https://github.com/nskaff/Skaff_et_al_WNV_thermal_thresholds.git.
