M. ulcerans distribution at sample sites in Akonolinga, Cameroon.

16 sites were sampled for 12 months, sampling from different types of water bodies. The dominant members of the aquatic biota were Diptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Odonata and Ephemeroptera. These made up the majority of the community in both seasons; the percentage of the biotic sampled community composed of these five groups is reported as Relative abundance of the 5 Orders in Table 1. These communities were normally positive of M. ulcerans, the percentage of positive samples (number of positive samples/total samples for the 5 Orders from that site in that season) describes the PCR positive samples of the 5 Orders. This table is a summary of a subset of the data presented in [30].M. ulcerans distribution at sample sites in Akonolinga, Cameroon.
