We estimate JCV spreads only ~30–60 km²/year, a relatively slow rate for a mosquito-borne virus. This may reflect how univoltine Aedes mosquitoes maintain the virus in restricted areas across years, while multivoltine mosquitoes drive short-term bursts of spread.

Applied to COVID-19 in California, the approach yields more accurate and more stable short-term forecasts than RNNs, LSTMs, GRUs, Transformers, and naïve baselines.
