  1. 1Quantitative explanatory factor.
  2. 2Only significant (p < 0.05) response variables and explanatory factors from the logistic analysis shown.
  3. 3Buffalo retained in the model despite a non-significant p-value, as removal caused a change in the province estimate of more than 20%.
  4. Kampong Cham province (KPC), Kampot province (KT), Battambang province (BB), (Cambodia 2011–2013).
