Model individual response curves related to environmental (blue and gray) and social (orange and dark yellow) variable gradients, calculated using evaluating strips method. Dengue fever, hantavirus and Chagas disease results are shown as they illustrate different responses of disease risk to income and ecosystem destruction The Y-axis corresponds to the probability predicted by the models for disease presence while the X-axis has the predicted values of response variables. The relationship between remaining variables and disease probability, as well as other diseases and environmental and social predictors, is available in Additional file 1: Fig. S1–S9.
