SIV_STATUS_BOUT ¶

A data frame with 181 rows and 10 columns. This table has data on windows of infections status among Gombe chimps.

Note that this table only contains KNOWN NEGATIVE and KNOWN POSITIVE periods, as well as periods of UNKNOWN status for individuals that seroconverted ONLY. Other periods not covered in this table have an unknown status.

Yingying confirmed that individuals are never expected to go from positive to negative, so for those individuals in the biography table, negative status extends from birth to date of last negative sample, while positive periods go from date of first positive sample (when ID is red in the original tables) until departure date in the biography table. For individuals not present in the biography table, start and end dates are the dates of first and last sample of the given infection status.
