One Health VBD Hub (ohvbd)

Introduction

ohvbd is an R package for retrieving (and parsing) data from a network of disease vector data sources.

At present this package is very much in its early stages, as such the internal API may change without warning.

This package was developed as part of the One Health Vector-Borne Diseases Hub.

Databases

ohvbd allows for searching and the retrieval of data from the following data sources:

• VecTraits
• VecDyn
• AreaData

Installation

You can install the development version of ohvbd from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fwimp/ohvbd", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Latest patch notes

ohvbd 0.6.0

• Internally ohvbd now only uses base R pipes (|>).
• The magrittr pipe (%>%) is no longer used internally, nor is it exported for use.
• httr2 v1.1.1 deprecated the pool argument of req_perform_parallel() which broke fetch() commands across ohvbd.
• These have now been rewritten using the new max_active argument, which does simplify everything a bit.
• This change does bump the required version of httr2 to be v1.1.1.

See changelog for patch notes for previous versions.
