*DYCAST, Dynamic Continuous-Area Space-Time; NR, no reported human West Nile virus cases; –, nonparticipating counties with reported cases in 2005. Records without a geocodable address or onset of illness cannot be included in the DYCAST model and are therefore not included in these totals. Counties with no reported cases from 2005–2009 are not shown.
†Analysis regions (Figure 1) consisted of the 16 agencies that participated in the 2005 DYCAST program. The participating region within El Dorado County had no reported cases in 2005.
