Figure 3

Incidence of human West Nile virus disease cases in 8 northeastern states, 1999–2006. Deviation ellipses indicate 1 SD of the geographic mean yearly incidence calculated as the incidence weighted average in space for each county. Incidence is attributed to the county centroid. This graph shows the urban concentration along the Eastern Seaboard as well as the outliers in western Pennsylvania (1 case in counties with low populations). The 2005 and 2006 regression of the geographic mean incidence is also depicted.
