Fig. 2From: Biosecurity aspects of cattle production in Western Uganda, and associations with seroprevalence of brucellosis, salmonellosis and bovine viral diarrhoeaFinal global Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) from additive Bayesian network modelling. The DAG illustrates direct and indirect associations between herd status (positive/negative serology) to at least one of brucella, salmonella or BVD, and farmer interview answers relating to herd biosecurity. A heuristic search with 1000 iterations was run with up to 2 parents allowed. Arcs that were included in at least 50% of local models are shown. Variables with no arcs are not shown. The numbers on the arcs represent the posterior marginal densities; a dashed line indicate negative association. All variables were binomial (no/yes). Variable coding: posbes = herd sero-positive to at least one of the diseases, district1 = Kabarole, district2 = Kamwenge, ncattle25 = herd size 2-5 cattle, careemploy = employees care for cattle, pastshare = share pasture with other cattle herds, boughtcattle = bought or received cattle the last 12 months, equipshare = share equipment with other farms, contothecattle = people from the farm has contact with cattle form other farms, farmhelp = farmers in the area help each other with their cattleBack to article page
