Probability that the sites fall in the STH-vegetation class, as predicted by Landsat data.

(Y = in class [indicated in bold], N = not in class).
nd* = not determined in this study.
nd** = not determined in this study, but confirmed as growth site by Swatek (1970).
growth site* =  sites were C. immitis was detected at least twice in a deeper soil layer during the late winter/spring (February-May).
accumulation site* =  the pathogen could only be detected on the surface of the sampling site and never in a deeper soil layer over a several year period.
negative site* = the pathogen could not be detected in any of the soil samples using the multiplex PCR method as described in this study.
