Summary of multiple logistic regression models used to evaluate the average abundance of Cx. quinquefasciatus (mosquitoes/trap-night) and WNV infection presence (presence/absence of WNV-positive pools in a trapping location), urban Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 2001–2007.a

a

Results show the parameter estimates and significance for each factor; different models are ordered from best to worst.

b

Each candidate model had 455 observations. Observations were based on estimates performed within 1 km of a mosquito trap location. Dashes within the cells indicate that the factor was not included in the model; numbers represent the parameter estimate for each factor.

c

Akaike weights, ωi = exp(−1/2 ΔAIC) / ∑exp((−1/2 ΔAIC).

p < 0.05.
