Fig. 2

This figure shows only LEMIS import data for live amphibian shipments that were recorded in terms of numbers of individuals. Colors indicate the country of origin, and the ordering of categories within each stacked bar corresponds to ordering in the legend. We specifically highlight the 10 countries that are known to host wild, Bsal-positive amphibians, but, for simplicity of presentation, seven of these countries (Belgium, Germany, Japan, The Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, and Vietnam) have been combined into an “Other Bsal Country” category.
