Sampling sites for the study of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases during the evaluated period (2015 to 2024), indicating as well sites of some vectors and reservoirs. Map of geostatistical boundaries from public domain [30; https://www.gits.igg.unam.mx/idea/descarga] and map created using ArcGIS 10.8 software. The states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo of the Yucatan peninsula are depicted.

Number of human cases of likely zoonotically transmitted diseases.
Data obtained from the Bulletin from the Mexican National Epidemiological Surveillance System [29]. Counts correspond to the accumulated cases reported up to week 52 of each year from 2015 to 2023.

The most studied zoonotic and vector-borne pathogens.
Infected species including vectors and reservoirs and/or hosts collected in habitats with different degrees of anthropogenic modification in the Yucatan peninsula, based on the reviewed studies from 2015 to 2024. Green: sylvatic, light green: ecotone, gray: urban.
