Main Article

Figure 2

Heat map of global annual incidence of human brucellosis estimated per 1 million population at risk. Overall global risk is defined by the weighted average interpolation data (total number of new cases/total population at risk × 1 million). The global average is ≈500 new cases per 1 million persons at risk. The heat scale shows high risk to low risk; yellow (>4,000 cases) to blue (<1 case). This heatmap is intended to represent transnational zones that require priority control or surveillance initiative, not to represent the risk for individual countries.
