All that glisters is not gold: sampling-process uncertainty in disease-vector surveys with false-negative and false-positive detections.
Vector-borne diseases are major public health concerns worldwide. For many of them, vector control is still key to primary prevention, with control actions planned and evaluated using vector occurrence records. Yet vectors can be difficult to detect, and vector occurrence indices will be biased when...
