Fig. 2.

Crude (red) and adjusted (blue) odds ratios for the rate of reporting inter and intra-subtype reassortants by region (a), host (b) and year (c). The dashed line at 1.00 on a and b represents the baseline level of risk, vertical bars crossing the dashed line indicate no effect at the 5 % level. The vertical lines above and below each point indicate 95 % confidence intervals. Adjusted odds are from the general additive logistic model of region and host as factors and year of isolated as a smooth term (c) [35]. Blue areas of c show 95 % confidence interval for smooth term for the contribution to the odds from the year of isolation. The univariate analysis where year was treated as a categorical variable is presented in Additional file 1: Table S1. Blue areas of c show 95 % confidence interval for smooth term for year of isolation
