From: Malaria misdiagnosis substantially contributes to the underestimation of global human brucellosis incidence

Fig. 2

(A) Estimated number of malaria cases per year, within rural populations in countries that reported the presence of brucellosis in livestock by region (2014–2018). (B) Calculated 5-year average number of human brucellosis cases potentially misdiagnosed as malaria, at different rates of misdiagnosis (0.25–4.00%) by region. (C) Cumulative global and regional 5-year average incidence of human brucellosis (cases potentially misdiagnosed as malaria added to modeled baseline estimates) (2014–2018). Solid lines represent misdiagnosis estimates at different rates and dashed lines represent Bayesian modeled baseline estimates based on available WOAH data [5]
