For each covariate, the following elements are provided: its parameter estimate and the corresponding instantaneous hazard ratio and its standard error (SE); the χ2 statistic (with 1 degree of freedom for all tests except for areas where it was 3) and the resulting p value for the type II test from the complete model. Covariates are the presence or not of OsHV-1 DNA in oysters (on 6 April), their triacylglycerol and carbohydrate reserves (on 6 April), and the relative variation of these energetic reserves (Δ) between 6 and 16 April.
