(a,b) Two nominal logistic regressions predicting the presence or absence of CNK02 on the cuticles of susceptible individuals after interacting with exposed individuals directly (i.e. co-habitating) or indirectly (i.e. only in contact with the same substrate 1 day later). (c) A GLMM predicting the estimated bacterial load collected from the cuticles of susceptible spiders after directly interacting with exposed spiders. Effects with significant p-values are denoted with an asterisk.
