Figure 3. Ecologic distribution of predicted potential distributional
areas for Ebola hemorrhagic fever (HF) occurrences, visualized in a few
dimensions of climate. (A) Large-scale view (all of Africa), in which
the basic concentration of Ebola HF occurrences in hot, wet climates is
shown. (B) Distribution by land use/land-cover type, summarized as the
proportion of overall area of land-cover types that is predicted to be
present at the highest confidence level. (C,D) Regional scale (distributional
area predicted by all 20 best-subsets models for Ebola HF buffered by
200 km in all directions) view of the ecology of occurrences of Ebola
HF, visualized in dimensions of annual mean minimum temperature, annual
mean maximum temperature, wet days, and vapor pressure.
