Table 5.

Interpretation of interaction terms in the logistic regression model comparing poultry that sampled positive for Newcastle disease (ND) (titre ⩾24) to those that sampled negative for ND (titre <24) (n = 20 490 poultry sampled)

Variable Comparison Interaction group Odds ratio
Species Ducks vs. chickens (reference: chickens) Control 0·15*
AI vaccination 1·16
AI and ND vaccination 0·35
Age Adult vs. young (reference: young) Control 1·50
AI vaccination 2·62
AI and ND vaccination 2·19
Treatment AI vaccination vs. control (reference: control) Chickens 0·57
Ducks 4·54
Young 0·57
Adult 1·00
AI and ND vaccination vs. control (reference: control) Chickens 2·43
Ducks 5·80
Young 2·43
Adult 3·55

AI, Avian influenza, ND, Newcastle disease.

*

Odds ratio indicates that in the control group, the odds of ducks being seropositive for ND were 0·15 times the odds of chickens being seropositive.
