Rodent trapping sites across West Africa.

A) The location of trapping sites in West Africa. No sites were recorded from Togo or The Gambia. Heterogeneity is observed in the coverage of each country by trap night (colour) and location of sites. For example, Senegal, Mali and Sierra Leone have generally good coverage compared to Guinea and Burkina Faso. B) Histogram of trap nights performed at each study site, a median of 248 trap nights (IQR 116–500) was performed at each site. A labelled map of the study region is attached in S5 Fig. Basemap shapefile obtained from GADM 4.0.4 [38].
