Canine leptospirosis
Participants	Baseline of cases in their practice	Notification threshold	Outbreak response threshold	Predictive certainty values
	0 / month Seen 3 times throughout the career	1 case/month	N/A	90%
2	0 cases/ month Seen 2 cases	1 case/month	3 cases/month	90%
3	2–3 cases/year Involved in outbreak	2–3 cases/month	4 cases/month	90%
4	1–3 cases/year Involved in outbreak	x2 baseline/ month	x3-4 baseline/ month	90%
5	0 cases/month Involved in outbreak	1 case/week	2–3 cases/fortnight	95–99%
6	0 cases/month Seen 1 case (never confirmed)	2 cases/month	4 cases/month	The lowest end of the possible range
