Table 1. Parameters used in the decision tree to estimate human rabies deaths at the administrative level.

Parameter	Value	Description	Source
Bi	Function of travel time to closest clinic provisioning PEP	Modeled estimates of reported bite incidence	Bayesian regression model (see Methods)
Ei	Triangular(a = 15, b = 76, c = 42)	Annual exposures per 100,000 persons	[4,15], see Fig A in S4 Text
prabid	Triangular(a = 0.2, b = 0.6, c = 0.4)	Proportion of reported bites that are rabies exposures1	[15]
ρmax	0.98	The maximum reporting possible for any location; data from the commune closest to the Moramanga clinic (average travel time estimate of ~ 3.12 minutes)	[15]
pdeath	0.16	The probability of death given a rabies exposure	[22]

1 p_rabid is constrained so that rabid reported bites cannot exceed the total expected number of rabies exposures (E_i) or maximum reporting in a given simulation (ρ_max).
