Fig. 3: Multiple correspondence analysis of potential risk indicators for parasite, vector-borne pathogens, ectoparasite, and endoparasite infections of individual animals.

From: Human social conditions predict the risk of exposure to zoonotic parasites in companion animals in East and Southeast Asia

Fig. 3

Points represent individual animals projected on the first two MCA dimensions that explained most variations of characteristics of all animals. The MCA Dimension 1 (horizontal axis) explained 19.7% of total variations while the MCA Dimension 2 (vertical axis) explained 14.0% of total variations. The colors of each potential risk factor indicate different subgroups, as indicated in their legends of animal species A age B sex C neutering status D environment E household F annual mean temperature G annual precipitation H human population density I pet-human ratio J life expectancy K for overall parasite infestation L vector-borne pathogens M ectoparasite infestation N and endoparasite infection O. The eclipses were drawn around the centroid of each subgroup. Potential risk factors and infection statuses that differentiate the animals following the same MCA dimension are considered to be related.
