Comparison of seroprevalence rates between environments was performed using data only for animals for which their location could be confirmed (n = 187) after accounting for relocated individuals and animals with too few position locations (n < 5) to confirm their assignment to a particular environment.

aAn animal sampled multiple times was considered seropositive if the animal returned a positive test result during any individual sampling event.
