Supplement 1. BUGS/JAGS code and instructions for estimation of pathogen prevalence and for Jolly-Seber model to estimate population size and recapture rates.

File List Prevalence_model.txt (MD5: 35f23b9016b32b621e40a79dc635c578)<br> Mark_recapture_model.txt (MD5: 2e949f7d1d7d151680af797f68a55123)Description The supplements contain the BUGS/JAGS code needed to carry out the analysis. Details of how to prepare data are provided within the individual files. The first supplement (Prevalence_model.txt) describes a simple binomial model that allows estimation of pathogen prevalence from the results of a screening session. It also provides a predictive version of the same model, where the sample size of a screening session is predicted using estimates of population size and probability of recapture. The second supplement (Mark-recapture_model.txt) contains the BUGS/JAGS code to implement the Jolly-Seber model for estimation of population size and recapture rates. This model is adapted from the code provided in Ch. 10 of Kéry and Schaub (2011).
