Figure 5. Geographic location of confirmed and probable clinical cases and serologically positive cases (according to serosurvey) of West Nile infection in equines, France. Data are grouped by commune, the boundaries of which are indicated. (The commune is the smallest French administrative subdivision, which approximately corresponds to an English parish). Numbers indicate clinical cases. Of the 76 cases, 73 are shown; the rest occurred more than 10 km outside the area. Names of communes in which more than one clinical case occurred are indicated. For each commune, the color (see key) indicates the number of positive serologic cases. The first cases were reported in Lansargues.
