Climate-Disease Correlation Analysis for Vector-Borne Diseases¶
Purpose: Demonstrate the relationship between climate variables (temperature, precipitation, phenology) and vector-borne disease risk in Colorado.
Key Outputs:
- Growing Degree Days (GDD) advancement relative to historical average
- Risk scores for Lyme disease, West Nile Virus, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
- Climate-driven disease forecasts
- Early warning alerts for seasonal outbreaks
Data Sources:
- NASA POWER (meteorological data)
- CDC NNDSS (disease case counts)
- USGS Phenology Network (spring indices)
- Historical climate/disease data (1990–2026)
What does "GDD advancement relative to historical average" mean?¶
Growing Degree Days (GDD) are a measure of heat accumulation used to predict plant and insect development rates. In this analysis, GDD is used to estimate how quickly disease vectors (like ticks and mosquitoes) are progressing through their seasonal life cycles.
GDD advancement relative to historical average is a score that compares the current year's cumulative GDD to a historical baseline for the same point in the season. It is calculated as:
$$\text{GDD Advancement} = \frac{\text{Current Cumulative GDD} - \text{Historical Baseline GDD}}{\text{Historical Baseline GDD}}$$
- A positive score means the current year is ahead of the historical average (the season is progressing faster than usual).
- A negative score means the season is behind the historical average.
- The score is capped between 0 and 1, where 1 means the season is 2+ weeks ahead of normal.
In plain language: If the GDD advancement score is high, it means the season is progressing faster than usual—so insects or disease vectors may become active earlier. It is not a count of days, but a relative measure of how much earlier (or later) the season is compared to the historical average.

### Current Status
- **GDD Accumulation**: {current_gdd:.0f}°C·days (baseline normalized)
- **Advancement Score**: {current_advancement:.1%} (0% = on-time, 100% = 2+ weeks early)
- **Risk Level**: {risk_level}
### Vector Status
- **Tick Activity** (Lyme disease): {"🟢 Not yet active" if current_gdd < 300 else "🟡 Emerging" if current_gdd < 500 else "🔴 Peak nymph season"}
- **Mosquito Activity** (WNV): {"🟢 Minimal" if not features_df['wnv_transmission_active'].iloc[-1] else "🔴 Transmission ongoing"}
### Recommended Actions
1. Monitor for early tick emergence in hiking/outdoor areas
2. Check local health department WNV surveillance reports
3. Implement vector control if advancement score >50%
### Data Sources
- NASA POWER: Daily temperature and precipitation
- GDD calculations: Colorado base 10°C
- Historical baseline: 1990-2010 climate normal period
