p = mean precipitation, Irrigated = natural log of percentage of irrigated land per district, Pig-human = pig-to-human ratio, Grassland = natural log of percentage grassland cover per district, Rho ( ρ ) = spatial lag parameter.

S.E. = Standard error of â coefficient.

All regression β coefficients represent a non-linear increase (or decrease when the coefficient value is negative) in JE incidence when there is a 1-unit increase in each respective predictor variable.
