Figure 5

Bipartite network and projections with snake species grouped by family/subfamily for snakes sampled for ophidiomycosis in Georgia 2016–2018. The purple, green, and maroon nodes represent the subfamilies Natricinae, Colubrinae, and Dipsadinae of the family Colubridae, the turquoise node represents the family Viperidae, and the yellow node represents the family Elapidae. The gray node represents the ophidiomycosis negative category, the orange node represents possible ophidiomycosis, the dark purple node represents Ophidiomyces present, and the red node represents apparent ophidiomycosis. Ophidiomycosis category node size is proportional to the prevalence of the category. (a) Bipartite network aligned with the best phylogenetic tree showing each family/subfamily, nodes are connected if snakes of a given family/subfamily were classified into the given ophidiomycosis category, and the links are weighted based on the proportion of snakes of the given family/subfamily in the given category, (b) Family-family network projection with species nodes connected if they share a connection with an ophidiomycosis category, (c) Disease-disease network projection with disease nodes connected if they share a link with a snake family/subfamily.
