Detection of Mycobacterium ulcerans in the Environment Predicts Prevalence of Buruli Ulcer in Benin
Figure 3
Linear relationship between Buruli ulcer prevalence and number of IS2404 and ER positive samples.
(A) Coefficient of Determination (R2) IS2404 = 0.454; F = 21.652; df = 1; p = 0.0001. (B) Coefficient of Determination (R2) ER = 0.586; F = 36.748; df = 1; and p = 0.0001. Numbers correspond to village designation shown in Table 1.
