Table 2 Coefficients, incidence risk ratios (IRR) and their 95% confidence intervals for the final three models using the count of positive confirmed cases in the initial cull as dependent variable and the centred-log-ratio (clr) transformations of the proportions of genotypes, NSP types and alleles.
