ohvbd is an R package for retrieving (and parsing) data
from a network of disease vector data sources.
This package was developed as part of the One Health Vector-Borne Diseases Hub.
ohvbd allows for searching and the retrieval of data
from the following data sources:
You can install the stable version of ohvbd from CRAN:
install.packages("ohvbd")You can alternatively install the development version of ohvbd from GitHub including any new or experimental features:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fwimp/ohvbd")The vignettes are all available online, but if you would like to
build them locally, add build_vignettes = TRUE into your
install_github() command. However, we do not recommend
doing this due to the number of extra R packages utilised in the
vignettes.
ohvbd has been designed to make finding and retrieving
data on disease vectors simple and straightforward.
Typically it uses a “piped”-style approach to find, get, and filter data from the supported databases, however it aims to provide the data to you “as-is”, leaving further downstream analysis and filtering down to you.
A basic pipeline for finding and retrieving data on Ixodes ricinus from the VecTraits database looks something like this:
library(ohvbd)
df <- search_hub("Ixodes ricinus") |>
filter_db("vt") |>
fetch() |>
glean()ohvbd now explicitly depends on generics
(as it does anyway via lubridate). This should stop issues
loading the package after install.search_hub() now correctly interfaces with the output
of match_countries() even when onlywkt is not
provided.See changelog for patch notes for all versions.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
