Figure 5. Projection of filovirus ecologic niche models onto southeastern Asia and the Philippines to assess the degree to which possible Philippine distributional areas are predictable on the basis of the ecologic characteristics of African filovirus hemorrhagic fever (HF) occurrences. (A) Projection of model for Marburg HF occurrences (Figure 1D) to southeastern Asia. (B) Projection of model for all filovirus disease occurrences (Figure 1B) to southeastern Asia (the projection of models for Ebola HF occurrences is identical to this map). Inset: detail of projection to the island of Mindanao, in the Philippines. Darker shades of red represent increasing confidence in prediction of potential presence.
