Table 4.

Four sub-models from the best model. The symbols “−” and “√” mean the absence and presence of interactions, respectively. Model 6 (i) no interactions between HMPV and RSV (ϕ_HMPV = ϕ_RSV = 0); Model 6 (ii) influence of HMPV on RSV (ϕ_RSV ≠ 0, ϕ_HMPV = 0), Model 6 (iii) influence of RSV on HMPV (ϕ_RSV = 0, ϕ_HMPV ≠ 0) and Model 6 (iv) interactions between HMPV and RSV (ϕ_HMPV ≠ ϕ_RSV ≠ 0)
