Table 3. Older animals have higher burdens after accounting for Animal ID as a random factor, (model from 1A with age replacing year), however this pattern is driven by burdens in the dry season.

Table shows the estimate from the GLMM with corresponding standard error (SEM) and p value.

Model: ln(CAA)~Season+Initial Herd+age+(1|Animal ID)	Estimate	SEM	p value	Interpretation
Age (rescaled)	0.98	0.15	<0.0001	Older animals have higher CAA levels, but this is driven by the dry season levels.
Age x Season	-0.45	0.18	0.01
Season (wet)	-0.58	0.27	0.03	Buffalo have lower levels in the wet season.
Herd (Lower Sabie)	-0.66	0.18	0.0004	Buffalo at Lower Sabie have lower levels.
