The only figures available are for the latter half of 1943 and the first half of 1944. These, however, are too small to draw any conclusions from, as the last six months of 1943 produced 45 cases and the first six months of 1944 40 cases. However, the maximum incidence occurred in November and December, and again this suggests the heat of summer and the role played by flies in the spread.
