Table 2. Relationship between cases of Buruli ulcer, mosquitoes tested, and maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) per 1,000 mosquitoes trapped in Victoria, Australia, and tested by PCR for insertion sequence IS2404 of *Mycobacterium ulcerans**.

Region	No. cases past 5 y	No. mosquitoes tested (% Aedes camptorhynchus)†	No. pools positive	MLE (95% CI)
Point Lonsdale	79	11,504 (91.8)	48	4.2 (3.08–5.53)
Bellarine Peninsula (excluding Point Lonsdale)	30	2,119 (88.7)	3	1.42 (0.37–3.85)
Bass coast Shire including Phillip Island	2	795 (82.1)	1	1.25 (0.07–6.03)
Central and northern Victoria (Mildura, Swan Hill, Moira, Shepparton)	0	471 (48.0)	0	0 (0–7.34)
Total	111	14,889 (89.4)	52	3.57 (2.70–4.64)

*MLE bias was corrected when >1 pool was positive, otherwise uncorrected. CI, confidence interval †p value = 0.07 (χ²: 4 × 2 table; pools positive/no. tested).
