Table 5.

The percentage of human isolates attributed to ruminants, broilers, layers, pigs, and other unsampled sources with 95% credible intervals for models without covariates or temporal variation

Ruminants Broilers Layers Pigs Unsampled
Equal-q
without unsampled source 41.3 (21.0–58.7) 0.02 (0.0–0.05) 56.9 (39.1–74.2) 1.8 (0.0–8.3)
with unsampled source 36.0 (16.9–55.5) 0.01 (0.0–0.03) 57.7 (39.7–74.0) 0.4 (0.0–3.1) 5.8 (0.0–10.7)
Variable-q
without unsampled source 24.7 (0.0–55.8) 13.1 (0.0–44.9) 44.3 (9.8–76.7) 17.8 (0.0–39.1)
with unsampled source 10.5 (0.0–34.8) 18.2 (0.0–66.1) 48.4 (5.4–79.6) 12.1 (0.0–31.8) 11.3 (1.2–22.1)

In the equal-q model all Salmonella serotypes are assumed to be equally efficient in their ability to cause infection in humans, while in the variable-q model (equivalent to the modified Hald model [20]) serotypes are allowed to differ in their efficiency
