Reposted to http://alabamarot.co.uk/half-of-crgv-cases-are-in-new-forest-greater-manchester-or-guildford/

There have been forty six confirmed cases of Alabama Rot in dogs in England between December 2012 to December 2014 (a further one case was in Northern Ireland):

Twenty five cases - more than half of all cases (54% of all confirmed cases) are in three cluster regions: the New Forest - sixteen cases (34%), Greater Manchester - five cases (11%) and Guildford, Surrey - four cases (9%). (Street 2014c)

A further twenty one cases (46%) were reported in the rest of England.

Further analysis by a statistician is required to determine whether these clusters occur by chance.
