Figure 1

The epicurve. This shows the temporal sequence of weekly dengue incidences of the THK workers (blue bars) and the Kandy district population (red bars) and the weekly change in dengue incidence among the Kandy district population (red line). X-axis: the last day of the each week. Primary Y-axis: weekly dengue incidences (per 100000 population). Pattern of temporal changes of Kandy district population is not obvious here. Secondary Y-axis more clearly illustrates the pattern of temporal changes of the weekly dengue incidences of the Kandy district population in a different scale (red line).
