3.3 Determinants of seropositivity
For the Iberian hares randomly sampled (hunted or live trapped), seroprevalence was significantly higher in the year of 2019 (β=2.9058,p=0.007 ) and was lower during the winter (β=-2.1551,p< 0.001 ), compared to the other seasons (Fig. 2 B). No differences were found between sex and age classes. Seroprevalence was significantly higher in 2017-2019 (12.9%, CI95%9.1-18.0%) than in 1994-1999 (5.4%, CI95% 3.0-9.6%) (p=0.005 ).
