2.6. Associations between Giardia spp . infection and indicators of ill health

Association between Giardia spp . infection and faecal condition, fur condition, skin condition and subjective body condition were tested by logistic regression, and association between Giardia spp . infection and objective body condition by linear regression, using Stata 14 software (StataCorp, 2015) with the methods as per Section 2.2. For the linear regression, normal distribution of the model residuals was confirmed to ensure the models were valid.
