Incidence, measles incidence per million [25]; Travelers, total traveler numbers by country for all ages of NZ nationals and 0–19-year-old non-NZ nationals; Risk, risk of measles importation in cases per million travelers per year to NZ, estimated by traveler numbers multiplied by measles incidence in the source location. Data for both 2012 and 2013 and an overall risk from both years is shown.
