title: MODELING THE FAVORABILITY OF CONDITIONS FOR THE DIROFILARIASIS DISTRIBUTION IN THE EUROPEAN RUSSIA
abstract: Modeling of the spatial distribution of favorable climatic conditions for transmission of dirofilariasis in European part of Russia was carried out in order to identify the climatic parameters affecting its distribution. To build the model, the method of modeling ecological niches with optimization by the method of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) was used. The following parameters were considered: average annual air temperature, average annual precipitation, maximum temperature of the warmest month and
