Kernel density estimations and Kulldorff space-time scan results for 109 bovine rabies outbreaks, Costa Rica, 1985–2020. Scan was limited to a 10-km distance from the epicenter of an outbreak to account for Desmodus rotundus vampire bat foraging ranges, enabling the detection of outbreak locations in space and time. Kernel density estimations were interpolated by using GeoDa version 1.18.0 (http://geodacenter.github.io), and the Kulldorff scan was implemented in SaTScan (https://www.satscan.org). The bovine rabies outbreak data is from the National Animal Health Service of Costa Rica. Map was created by using QGIS version 3.16.2 (https://qgis.org).
