Cases peaked in March, suggesting that risk is highest during the high rainy season. During and after this season, populations should increase protective behaviors, and case detection efforts should be intensified. specialized AFRIQUE CENTRALE CAMEROUN 052 050 Emerging Infectious Diseases 21 8 1414-1417 2015 1080-6040 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064871 10.3201/eid2108.141336 1080-6040 [F B010064871] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064871 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers15-11/010064871.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2015-09-04 2025-01-08 fdi:010064871 fre
