Of
the
166
reported
cases,
125
(75%)
recorded
a
location
other
than
the
U.S.
as
their
place
of
birth.
Collectively,
national
origin
of
the
cases
reported
in
2005
could
be
associated
with
a
total
of
35
different
countries
or
territories
(Table
2).
Of
the
35
total
birth
countries
reported,
the
majority
of
cases
(68%)
presented
from
the
U.S.
(41),
Mexico
(32),
Brazil
(16),
Philippines
(9),
Dominican
Republic
(8),
and
India
(7)
respectively.
Another
14
cases
arose
from
among
areas
in
the
western
pacific
such
as
the
Trust
Territories,
Micronesia
or
American
or
Western
Somoa.
These
same
patterns
are
generally
reflected
in
the
ten
year
trend
summary,
except
notably
fewer
cases
are
now
being
registered
among
persons
immigrating
from
Cuba
or
Viet
Nam
(Table
3).
