Response variables included “Infection” given by binary qualitative liver RTqPCR results, denoting the presence or absence of YFV RNA, and “Intensity” given by RTqPCR Cq threshold values representing the intensity of YFV RNA load in infected individuals. The estimates for the Infection model are given as odds ratios; the estimates for the intensity model are given as linear effects. For each linear effect, we include the GAMM slope coefficient and the 95% confidence intervals on estimates (upper 95 and lower 95). For these and all smooth terms, we include p values, effective degrees of freedom (edf), and the Chi square (for infection) or F value (for intensity). An asterisk in the column “Sig” denotes whether the variable was statistically significant (P<0.05). Categorical variables are presented as [1] areas of non-human primate sampling (urban, rural or urban-rural interface), [2] the preservation status of non-human primate carcasses (good, bad, intermediate), and [3] non-human primate taxa.
