Modeling Risk and Prevention of West Nile Virus at a Military Installation in the United States using Fuzzy Boolean Logic
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Fuzzy Logic and a Fuzzy Logic Control System were used to predict and identify areas for control of arthropod-borne viruses. Bird species and mosquito landing counts were conducted to determine high risk areas for West Nile virus at the Edgewood Area, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, US. The level of risk West Nile Virus varied geographically in the installation. The fuzzy logic control system was developed to identify where and when mosquito control should be conducted to prevent an outbreak of West Nile Virus .
