Figure 3: Bacterial secretions increase the ability of pathogens to infect multiple hosts.

(a) Standardized regression coefficients (multiplied by the standard deviation of the variable) estimated by the BPMM. Dots show the mode of the posterior distributions with lines indicating 95% CIs. Secretome size (yellow) has a positive effect on the probability that a pathogen is zoonotic, whereas genome size (blue) has a negative effect. (b) Data and BPMM predictions. Zoonoses are shown in red (n=121), whereas specialists are shown in blue (n=70). Background colours indicate the predictions of the BPMM.
