Figure

Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) O157 and VTEC O26, Ireland, 2004–2014. A) Seasonal distribution of notifications. B) Predicted seasonal distribution. Data source: Computerised Infectious Disease Reporting System (https://www.hpsc.ie/NotifiableDiseases) in Ireland, as of June 24, 2015. Predicted number of cases by month were derived from a cyclical quasi-Poisson model after trend and seasonality and interaction by serogroup were accounted for.
