Number and type of animals observed inside of households during 6 h of observation. Legend: This figure shows the average number of different types of animals that were present inside of households during the 6 h of observation for the 18 houses observed. The observation period took place for 3 h per day over the course of 2 days. The observation timepoints 1–4 depicted on the X-axis correspond to tallies conducted after 0, 1, 2, and 3 h of observation on the first day; timepoints 4–8 correspond to tallies conducted after 0, 1, 2, and 3 h of observation on the second day. At each of these timepoints, enumerators tallied how many and what types of animals were observed inside of the household; the mean across all 18 households for each of the five animal types is depicted, corresponding to the darkness of the shading. The types of animals tallied are expressed on the y-axis, and include (from top to bottom include): sheep, dogs, chickens, cats, and bovines (cows/bulls/oxen)
