Figure 6
Neoplastic and infectious diseases in the dinosaur cladogram. Simplified non-avian dinosaur family tree showing the distribution of infectious (orange) and neoplastic diseases (blue) as derived from the literature analysis (numbers indicate the respective references). For Aves and non-avian reptiles, the prevalences of the respective diseases are given as percentages and derived from the pooled literature analysis given in Tables 1 and 2. The specific neoplastic disease rate for the non-avian reptile taxons testudines, lepidosaurs and crocodylians are derived from the pooled literature analysis given in the Supplementary Table 21,13,15,26,29,30,31,33,52,86,87,88,89,90,93,94,96,97,99,101,103,109,115,123,124,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141.
