Table 4 Model results for association between diversity of utilized sampled avian community and seroprevalence rates. Results from a negative binomial generalized liner mixed model (GLMM) assessing the effects of host seroprevalence or vector infection rate, avian diversity, and microhabitat type on host seroprevalence or vector infection rate from animals captured in urban Atlanta, GA, USA 2010-2011, while controlling for year and site block. This model considered the diversity of the avian community and seroprevalence rates only from avian species also previously identified in at least one Culex blood-meal from the same area
