Comparison between the Ministries regarding their top endemic zoonotic disease priorities.
Table 1.
List of endemic zoonotic diseases and their frequency in regards to their prioritization by the Ministries of Health and Agriculture and combined entities in Latin America and Caribbean countries.
First, second, and third refer to the priority level of the zoonotic diseases and total is a sum of all the times that disease was prioritized in such categories.
Table 2.
List of emerging zoonotic diseases and their frequency in regards to their prioritization by the Ministries of Health and Agriculture and combined entities in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
First, second, and third refer to the priority level of the zoonotic diseases and total is a sum of all the times that disease was prioritized in such categories.
Fig 2.
Probability of introduction for the top emerging zoonotic diseases in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Probabilities were selected by the Ministries of Health, Agriculture, and combined entities (very improbable (probability < 0.20), improbable (0.20–0.40), moderate (0.41–0.60), probable (0.61–0.80), and very probable (0.81–1.00).
Fig 3.
Top capacities that require improvement for each of the top five endemic priority zoonoses.
The Ministries of Health and Agriculture and combined entities of Latin American and Caribbean countries listed capacities to improve primarily within five categories (control, cont; coordination, coor; diagnosis, diag; education, edu; and surveillance, surv). Responses that fell outside these categories were categorized as other. Percentage represents total respondents received per zoonosis.

Fig 8.
Development of capacities against emerging and endemic zoonoses per country.
Seven capacities were assessed for each country. Countries are grouped by sub-region (South America, Central and North America, and the Caribbean). The first bar shows the average capacity development for all countries that responded to the survey (31). Regional averages are also shown for each region to allow comparisons between countries.
