  1. Analyses were performed with Q-statistics, based on 15 nearest neighbours and 999 permutations. For each analysis the table lists athe global Q-statistic and its p-value, bthe number of cases with a Q (k) i , p-value of 0.001 and among these c the number of cases that are co-located and with Q (k)i,t , p-values ≤ 0.05 and dthe geographic area and time of the cluster. eAdjusted for age, sex, education, home termite treatment, race and site of recruitment. All controls (n = 1044) were use in all analyses
