Human movement into insect vector and wildlife reservoir habitats determines zoonotic disease risks; however, few data are available to quantify the impact of land use on pathogen transmission. Here, we utilise GPS tracking devices and novel applications of ecological methods to develop fine-scale models of human space use relative to land cover to assess exposure to the zoonotic malaria <i>Plasmodium knowlesi</i> in Malaysian Borneo. Combining data with spatially explicit models of mosquito bit ...[more]
