A table of all candidate predictors is provided in Supplementary Table S2.

a

No data (ND). Data was not collected on bovine sex, age or type in 2016, or on pig ownership in 2007.

b

Although predictors are broken into categories to facilitate a comparison of the distributions across the study period, most were assessed as continuous variable in our Random Forests models. See Table 1 for details on variable formulation for the RF models.

c

Variables with >90% of observations taking on a single value were excluded from the RF assessment. This exclusion criteria applied twice in 2016: >90% of the included households reported owning at least one dog, and >90% of households owned zero pigs.
