Figure 1

Geographic distribution of rabies virus from a study of genomic sequence alignment of wild and vaccine strains, Kenya. Red dots on callout maps indicate study sample collection sites in Siaya County in western and Makueni County in eastern Kenya. The 2 counties are 540 miles apart and separated by complex natural barriers, such as the floor of the Great Rift Valley, 6 lakes along the valley’s floor, the Aberdares and Nandi escarpment to the east, and the Lake Victoria to the west. Red asterisks indicate major cities or towns.
