Figure 1

Mean daily incidence rates in counties with and without live poultry market closures across waves of influenza A(H7N9) infections, China, 2013–2017. A) Wave 1; B) wave 2; C) wave 3; D) wave 4; E) wave 5. Wave-specific calculations include only counties with >1 human case in that wave. Error bars indicate 95% CIs. Numbers below the axis represent the number of counties with and without LPM live poultry market closure at corresponding intervals; pie charts represents the proportion of counties

Figure 1. Mean daily incidence rates in counties with and without live poultry market closures across waves of influenza A(H7N9) infections, China, 2013–2017. A) Wave 1; B) wave 2; C) wave 3; D) wave 4; E) wave 5. Wave-specific calculations include only counties with >1 human case in that wave. Error bars indicate 95% CIs. Numbers below the axis represent the number of counties with and without LPM live poultry market closure at corresponding intervals; pie charts represents the proportion of counties with live poultry market closures at corresponding intervals. The timespan in the last interval was equal to the period from the end of the former interval to the date of infection of the last case in each wave.
