Estimated distribution of annual human brucellosis incidence as determined by Bayesian hierarchical model for Africa (A), Asia (B), Americas (C), and Europe (D) and globally (E). Histograms generated via 1 million sample iterations. Posterior distributions were estimated using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm based on observed reported case count values. For the MCMC algorithm, 50,000 burn-in iterations were performed before the samples were retained.
