Global Hotspots of Zoonoses by Mammalian Clades

Caption

Mapping overlapping geographic ranges of mammal species recognized to carry one or more zoonotic diseases highlights regions of high and low zoonotic host diversity arising from particular clades. Mammal zoonotic host richness is depicted by color for carnivores, bats (Chiroptera), primates, rodents, shrews and moles (Soricomorpha), and the hoofed mammals (Ungulates, which combine the orders Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla and exclude domesticated species).
