P-value* | < 0.0001 | > 0.9999 | > 0.9999 | N/A | 0.0707 | N/A | 0.2007 | N/A |
Total | 186 (24.6) | 5 (0.7) | 4 (0.5) | N/A | 4 (0.5) | 2 (0.3) | 3 (0.4) | 756 |
P/T: Positive samples over the total of animals tested. N/A: Non-applicable. P-values were calculated with the chi-square and Fisher exact tests between the dry and the rainy seasons.
