Figure 3. Phase graph showing the relationship between mean monthly rainfall and raw Ebola spillover intensity (defined as average density or expected number of points per unit area and/or time) for known Ebola virus disease locations in West and Central Africa (closed circles) and locations in northeastern or southern Africa where model results indicate moderate to high Ebola spillover intensity seasonally (open squares). Points are ordered by least to greatest monthly rainfall at each site. DRC, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
