Directed Acyclic Diagram (DAG) showing the relationship between factors potentially affecting PCC.
The causal diagram lays out the hypothetical causal relationships between variables with the direction of arrows indicating the possible causal relationship between different variables. For many risk factors, it would be difficult to assign a definitive causal sequence (e.g., does roaming influence pig deworming or vice versa) so they were placed into a single node. The outcome variable is PCC + /- with exposure variables being to the left of the outcome variable (e.g.,: Environmental factors). The variable to the left of the exposure variables are potential confounders and are included in the model. The green arrows represent causal paths while the pink arrows represent a biasing path.
