Figure and appendixes caption
Figure 1 . Cumated frequency of pet-related and non pet-related
COVID-19 publications, in PubMED [A] and ProMED-mail [B]
Legend: All-pets = all publications on COVID-19 without pet-related
publications; Pets = exclusively pet-related publications on COVID-19.
Numbers in italics represent the cumulated frequency for pet-related
publications.
Figure 2. Boxplot of the relative importance of the eight
domains of COVID-19 drivers of emergence in pets (N = 33 experts)
Legend: The dashed line represents the median of the score distribution
between the different experts; the solid lines below and above each
rectangle represent, respectively, the first and the third quartiles;
adjacent lines to the whiskers represent the limits of the 95%
confidence interval; small circles represent outside values. The eight
domains of drivers are: D1, pathogen/disease characteristics; D2,
distance of outbreaks (spatial-temporal scales); D3, ability to monitor,
treat and control the disease; D4, pets characteristics; D5, changes in
climate conditions; D6, wildlife interface; D7, human activity; and D8,
economic and trade activities.
Figure 3. Ranking of the overall weighted score for each
potential COVID-19 driver of emergence in pets (Boxplot based on 33
experts)
Legend: X-Axis represents the drivers with the following codification:
D1 to D8 refer to the eight domains of drivers and D1_1 to D8_5 refer
to a specific driver (for the codification, see Table 1). Relation to
the figure 4 was provided by the group named as respectively “very
high”, “high”, “moderate” and “low” importance of the COVID-19
drivers of emergence in pets.
Figure 4. Aggregation of COVID-19 drivers of emergence in pets
into four homogenous groups using a regression tree analysis
Legend: N, number; SD, standard deviation.
Figure 5. Sensitivity analysis according to the experts. The
diagram visualizes any modification in the rank of COVID-19 drivers of
emergence in pets induced by the withdrawal of a given expert’s input
Legend: X, crosses represent the cut-off of more than five ranks between
different steps. Withdrawal of experts have little effect on the
ranking. X-Axis represents the expert considered: All, all experts;
All-Exp1 to All-Exp33 all, experts minus the first (Exp1), the second
(Exp2), until the last (Exp33). Y-Axis represents the ranking of the
COVID-19 drivers of emergence in pets, which are presented inTable 1 (i.e. the domain code followed by driver code). Several
drivers occupy the same rank because their overall weighted scores are
similar.
