Statistical models of vector-borne zoonoses can be useful, but models based on fundamental biological processes are thought to be more powerful in deciphering the mechanisms responsible for the observed distribution patterns. Here, Kurtenbach and colleagues describe the framework needed to develop models of vector-borne zoonoses based on biological processes, using Lyme borreliosis as an example.
