Spatiotemporal distribution of rabies in Arctic foxes in Greenland

摘要: The temporal occurrence, spatial distribution, spread, and prevalence of rabies in Arctic foxes, Vulpes lagopus, Greenland were studied using historical obser- vations from 1969 to 2011 survey data collected the winters 1992 1993. Regionally, ranged between 0 7.1 %. Wavelet analysis was used identify periodicities abundance cases based on observations. No general length cyclic interval occurrences could be demonstrated. frequency out- breaks found variable but can grouped as short (less than 5 years), medium (5-10 long (more 10 years). Moreover, outbreaks neighboring regions more closely corre- lated compared further apart. In West Greenland, occur along a north-south trajectory.
