Description

Download Vector Occurrence points from the MAP database getVecOcc downloads all publicly available vector occurrence points for a specified country (or countries) and returns this as a dataframe. country and ISO refer to countries and a lower-level administrative regions such as French Guiana.

Usage

getVecOcc(country = NULL, ISO = NULL, continent = NULL, species = "all",
  extent = NULL)

Arguments

country

string containing name of desired country, e.g. c("Country1", "Country2", ...) OR = "ALL". (Use one of country OR ISO OR continent, not combined)

ISO

string containing ISO3 code for desired country, e.g. c("XXX", "YYY", ...) OR = "ALL". (Use one of country OR ISO OR continent, not combined)

continent

string containing continent (one of "Africa", "Americas", "Asia", "Oceania") for desired data, e.g. c("continent1", "continent2", ...). (Use one of country OR ISO OR continent, not combined)

species

string specifying the Anopheles species for which to find vector occurrence points, options include: "Anopheles...." OR "ALL"

extent

2x2 matrix specifying the spatial extent within which vector occurrence data is desired, as returned by sp::bbox() - the first column has the minimum, the second the maximum values; rows 1 & 2 represent the x & y dimensions respectively (matrix(c("xmin", "ymin","xmax", "ymax"), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, dimnames = list(c("x", "y"), c("min", "max"))))

Value

getVecOcc returns a dataframe containing the below columns, in which each row represents a distinct data point/ study site.

1. COLUMNNAME description of contents

2. COLUMNNAME description of contents

3. COLUMNNAME description of contents

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Download vector occurrence data for Brazil and map the locations using autoplot.vector.points

autoplot(Brazil_vec)

# Download vector data for Madagascar and map the locations using autoplot
