Main Article

Figure 1

Geographic distribution and PRNT90–validated West Nile virus seroprevalence among equids per sampling site in Bahia State, Brazil. Inset shows location of Bahia State in northeastern Brazil. Sample sizes are shown only for locations with seropositive animals. Avian migratory routes are based on the 2016 annual report of the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity and Conservation (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/292980285_Annual_Report_of_Flyways_and_Priority_Areas_for_Migratory_Birds_in_Brazil_Relatorio_anual_de_rotas_e_areas_de_concentracao_de_aves_migratorias_no_Brasil). PRNT90, plaque-reduction neutralization tests with a 90% endpoint.
