Figure 3

Illustrated relationships A) between rainfall and other variables for pairwise seasonal comparisons, B) for pathogen GEE models, and C) for immunity GEE models. Response variables are contained in ovals. Arrows indicate the direction of prediction (e.g. increased rainfall predicted increased GI parasite infection intensities in the GIP GEE model), and do not imply causation. Explanatory variables showing a positive relationship to response variables are in pill-shaped boxes, while those showing a negative relationship to response variables are in rectangular boxes. Significant explanatory or response variables are in black print, while those variables that were included in the models but were statistically not significant are in gray.
