This value-added data set is part of a publication by Huettmann and Hueffer (in prep) and includes the GIS layers for rabies and predictions of Canada, assessed with Alaska locations ((taken from Huettmann et al. 2015). This project compiled the best publically available rabies data for Canada, and models them for the Northern part of the the North American continent (Alaska and Arctic Canada). The environmental data sets are in a common GIS format (ESRI and ASCII grids) and are taken from public Open Access sources. The rabies data sets are point data, as rabies was reported by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and processed in the lab. The dataset is 5GB in size and consists of 20 files.
