Odds ratios with 95% credible intervals for pathogen exposure, compiled across the global data set for all pathogens and separately for Bartonella, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Toxocara cati, Toxoplasma gondii and Leptospira, for outdoor-owned cats relative to feral cats and for outdoor-owned cats relative to indoor cats.

Rarefaction (solid) and extrapolation curves (dotted) comparing helminth pathogen richness among indoor (blue), outdoor-owned (purple) and feral cats (orange).
Shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals, with extrapolated values extending beyond the observed sample size to predict potential richness.
