Revisiting the Relationship between Weather and Interannual Variation in Human Plague Cases in the Southwestern United States.
Am J Trop Med Hyg

Division of Vector Borne Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Plague is a rare, potentially fatal flea-borne zoonosis endemic in the western United States. A previous model described interannual variation in human cases based on temperature and lagged precipitation. We recreated this model in northeastern Arizona (1960-1997) to evaluate its capacity to predict recent cases (1998-2022).

Biological relatedness is a key consideration in studies of behavior, population structure, and trait evolution. Except for parent-offspring dyads, pedigrees capture relatedness imperfectly. The number and length of identical-by-descent DNA segments (IBD) yield the most precise relatedness estimates.
