Binomial logistic regression model of MPXV-positive/negative outcome data. The final simplified model included museum of origin, species and collection period as significant variables predicting MPXV infection outcome. Significance was determined by likelihood-ratio tests comparing models with and without a particular variable. Coefficients are given for the various variables. For museum, the coefficient is a comparison of the RMCA specimens with the AMNH, and for species, all species are compared with F. anerythrus.
