Comparison of relative human spillover virulence (<i>α</i>_<i>S</i>) predictions for zoonoses from nested life history model with estimates from the literature, excluding rabies.

Figure replicates Fig 3G (main text), respectively, under assumptions of (A) constant and (B) complete tolerance but excluding rabies lyssavirus from the zoonotic data (right-half of panels). Rank-order predictions of virulence are more consistent with order Carnivora further down in the rankings. As in Fig 3G, order-specific parameter values for , μR, TwR, g0R, and TvS are listed in S1 Table; all other parameters involved in calculation of αS are listed in Table 1 (main text). Data and code used to generate all figure panels are available in our publicly available GitHub repository (github.com/brooklabteam/spillover-virulence-v1.0.0; doi: 10.5281/zenodo.8136864). (PNG)
