Bipartite network and network projections of snakes sampled for ophidiomycosis in Georgia 2016–2018. The network is built based on proportion of snakes of each species in each of four ophidiomycosis categories, where blue nodes represent sampled snake species, the gray node represents the negative category, the orange node represents possible ophidiomycosis, the dark purple node represents Ophidiomyces present, and the red node represents apparent ophidiomycosis. Node size is weighted by prevalence of the ophidiomycosis category. (a) Bipartite network with species nodes aligned with the corresponding leaves of the best phylogenetic tree. Nodes are connected if snakes of a given species were classified into the given category, and links are weighted by the proportion of snakes of the given species in the given category. (b) Species-species network projection with species nodes connected if they share a connection with an ophidiomycosis category, (c) Disease-disease network projection with ophidiomycosis category nodes connected if they share a link with a snake species.
