Proportions with superscripts in common for roosts within the right-hand column or for years across the bottom row are not significantly different (P>0.05). CI = 95% confidence interval for proportion, % = per cent seropositive, N = sample size. Maximum count of adults as a measure of relative colony size (see Methods) is given in parentheses following roost identifiers. Seroprevalence by roost across all years is given in the right hand column, and by year across all roosts in the bottom row, with seroprevalence across all roosts and years provided in the lower right corner.
