From: Spatial and seasonal patterns of FMD primary outbreaks in cattle in Zimbabwe between 1931 and 2016
Seasonal variation in the number of FMD outbreaks. Top panel: mean of rainfall per month from 1931 to 2016, per season (rainy—November–March, cold-dry—April–July and hot-dry—August–October; separated by vertical lines) and per region (the South-East Lowveld included the Manicaland and Masvingo provinces, the Matabeleland region included the Matabeleland South and the Matabeleland North, the Central region included the Mashonaland Central, the Mashonaland West, the Mashonaland East and the Midlands provinces). Bottom panel: sum of foot and mouth disease outbreaks (bars) per month in the three regions of Zimbabwe as described above and predictions with 95% confidence interval (lines) of the statistical model selected to depict seasonal variation in the number of FMD outbreaks.
