Table 3.

Significant canine facility and vector-related risk factor associations determined from analysis of data from 37 canine facility surveillance locations.

Outcome variable Risk factor (predictor variable) Eta-squareda Odds ratiob Confidence interval for odds ratio Risk factor designation
No. of CPV cases (continuous data) Fly numbers (continuous) 0.021 N/A N/A Vector
Canine facility design (binary) 0.036 Vector
Fly CPV status (binary) 0.139 Vector



Fly CPV status (binary) Canine facility design (binary) N/A 19.7 (2.7–136.01) Canine facility
Fly numbers (continuous) 1.004 (0.996–1.012) Canine facility
a

The Eta-squared values are a measure of the association or effect size and are interpreted as follows: 2.1% of the variation in the number of CPV cases that can be explained by the variation in the number of flies captured, 3.6% of the variation in the number of CPV cases that can be explained by the variation in the canine facility design, and 13.9% of the variation in the number of CPV cases that can be explained by the variation in the fly CPV result.

b

The odds ratio values are interpreted as the odds of a fly CPV positive result at an open facility design. The odds of a fly testing positive for CPV at an open facility design is 19.17 times greater than a fly testing positive at a closed facility design. For every additional fly captured, the odds of a fly CPV positive result at an open facility design increases by 0.004 or 0.4%.
