Understanding the incidence and timing of rabies cases in domestic animals and wildlife in south-east Tanzania in the presence of widespread domestic dog vaccination campaigns

Table 1 Structure of the generalized linear models analysed.

Model number	Variable of interest	Covariates
Domestic dog models
Dog model 1	Vaccination coverage (%)^a
Dog model 2	Vaccination coverage (%)^a	Urban/rural
Dog model 3	Vaccination coverage (%)^a	Urban/rural + human population + dog population + area + presence of protected area
Dog model 4	Vaccination coverage (%)^a	Urban/rural + human population density + dog population density + area + presence of protected area
Jackal models
Jackal model 1	Vaccination coverage (%)^a
Jackal model 2	Vaccination coverage (%)^a	Urban/rural
Jackal model 3	Vaccination coverage (%)^a	Urban/rural + human population + dog population + area + presence of protected area + savannah (%)
Jackal model 4	Vaccination coverage (%)^a	Urban/rural + human population density + dog population density + area + presence of protected area + savannah (%)

In the domestic dog models, the outcome variable is the annual incidence of probable rabies cases in domestic dogs, whilst in the jackal models the outcome variable is the annual incidence of probable rabies cases in jackals.
^aVaccination coverage was included either as the mean coverage over the two years prior to cases occurring or over the three years prior to cases occurring.
