Dark green indicates national parks; light green indicates game reserves; yellow indicates conservation area. Circle graphs: black, NHPs T. pallidum–positive (serology and/or PCR); white, NHPs T. pallidum–negative (serology and PCR). The map was produced with ArcMap version 10.0 (ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA) by using shape files available from ESRI (national boundary of Tanzania, water bodies of Africa, main rivers of Africa). The shape files of the conservation areas of Tanzania were provided by the Tanzania National Park Authority and are available free from http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id = 9b06fe723ad14991b30b1b85953224c1. Prevalence circles were generated using Excel version 15.38 (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA).
