Sampling design
GAM point estimate (95% CI)
GAM LQAS result
Team days required to collect data
Cost for data collection

33 × 6 Design
4.7 (1.9, 7.4)

Conclude area has <10% GAM prevalence
4.13
NA
67 × 3 Design
8.0 (4.5, 11.5)
Fail to reject Ho at 10% GAM threshold.
Conclude area requires intervention appropriate for 10% threshold level
