Linear regressions of incidence of human cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Sweden per 12-month period (July–June) from 1989 through 2007, based on fall bank vole trapping indexes from late September of the concurrent season (p< 0.001). *Because trapping indices are proportions, the arcsine transformation was used.
