Exponential correlation between rodent capture success and human and animal Yersinia pestis positivity in a study of ecologic, geoclimatic, and genomic factors modulating plague epidemics in primary natural focus, Brazil. A) Human cases; B) rodent positivity; C) flea positivity. Capture success serves as a proxy for rodent abundance.
