Human-transmissible virus in nonhuman host. a) The proportions of virus species of different IT levels being known to infect a given non-human host category (six orders of mammal and the Class Aves). b) Results for GLMMs with binary responses for association between viruses within a species/subtype being human-transmissible (L3/4) and being known to infect a given non-human host category. Coefficient estimates (with 95% CIs) are compared for six orders of mammal and the Class Aves of L3/4 virus species relative to L2 virus species. Coefficient estimates greater than zero correspond to a positive association. Models include a random term for each observation to account for over-dispersion. Genus and family are included as random effects.
