Association between human leishmaniasis incidence rate and poverty rate, Morocco, 2007. High incidence clusters in the northeastern part of the country were associated with high poverty clusters (Images 5 and 6). Both the yellow grids in the histogram of poverty (Image 3) and the four yellow points in the box plot (Image 7) correspond to significant clusters of high leishmaniasis incidence (Errachidia, Figuig, Boulemane, and Jrada provinces) shown in Fig. 5. Likewise, the yellow grids in the histogram of poverty (Image 4) correspond to significant clusters of low leishmaniasis incidence shown in Fig. 5 (Tan Tan, Tarfaya, Laayoun, and Essmara provinces)
