| Abstract |
|
The objective of this study was to analyze the possible relationship
between certain climatic variables and temporal variation in the
presence of vesicular stomatitis (VS) in bovine in the State of
Veracruz, Mexico, from January 1996 to December 2002. The information on
VS outbreaks was obtained from the data base of the World Organization
for Animal Health. Maximum and minimum
temperatures and rainfall were considered as climatic variables; the
information from these variables was obtained from the data base of 25,
31 and 40 weather stations, respectively. A multivariate analysis of
multiple correlations was carried out and it was found that the variable
which best explained the presence of VS outbreaks, was rainfall.
