Only the 7 predictors that were ranked in the top three of at least one of the two models are included. The top three predictors for each model are highlighted in bold.
*LST; Land Surface Temperature.
**NDVI; Normalized Difference vegetation Index.
***AUC; the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (and standard deviation).
**** CORprev is the Pearsons product moment correlation between model logistic probability and the measured CFA prevalence at survey sites.
