Mean estimates and 95% posterior credible intervals (CI) of the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of bacteriology (bact) and PCR and population specific animal prevalences of the eight models assuming different proportions of maximum conditional covariances (analysis 1).

aProportion of maximum upper limit of conditional covariance.
bDeviance information criterion.
cFor this model, a thin interval of 3 was defined in order to ensure that the MCMC chains are no longer autocorrelated.
Note: the results of the model with the lowest DIC are in bold.
