Metadata for files `papers_from_systematic_search.csv` and `papers_from_random_search.csv`. These files contain the papers identified in our two literature searches that drew conclusions on species maintenance or reservoir potential. The columns associated with these data files are as follows. Only a subset of these columns were collected in `papers_from_random_search.csv`. Columns ------- - 'Search #': the unique identifier of manuscripts included in the literature review. - 'Title': The title of each manuscript. - 'Journal Type': Based on classification assigned by independent journals: "Short communication", "Manuscript", "Case Report", "Meta-analysis" - 'Year': Year of publication. - 'DOI': Each papers unique identifier. If included. - 'Type': The study design condensed into 4 main categories: "Field study", "Lab study", "Mathematical modeling", and "Life history extrapolation". Studies could use one single type or multiple types. - 'Data Range': The duration of the each study, if included. - 'Experiment': The types of "experiments" (Methods and measurements) used to make claims relative to the 'Type' or design used. Examples include "Prevalence survey", "Mathematical model", "Challenge assay", and "Phylogenetic Analysis". - 'Data; Prevalence': Studies that used some form of prevalence, infected or not infected, to make claims: "1": Yes, "0": No. - 'Data; Seroprevalence': Studes that used some form of seroprevalence to make claims: "1": Yes, "0": No. - 'Data; Histology': Studies that used necropsy or histological samples to make claims: "1": Yes, "0": No. - 'Data; Intensity': Studies that used count data or quantitatively estimated infection intensity and used these data to make claims: "1": Yes, "0": No. - 'Data; Genotype': Studies that used genotypes of pathogens or hosts to make claims: "1": Yes, "0": No. - 'Data; Phylogeny': Studies that used a form of higher phylogenetic analysis such as maximum parsimony to make claims: "1": Yes, "0": No. - 'Data; Parameters': Studies that used mathematical models in which they assigned parameters to make claims: "1": Yes, "0": No. - 'Number of Sites': If available, the number of experimental plots or study areas that were included in the study. - 'Collection': The predominant method used for data collection specifically related to the data each study based their claim on. - 'Species': The scientific name of species that claims of maintenance or reservoir were made for or against. - 'Common': The common name of each species that claims of maintenance or reservoir were made for or against. - 'Parasite': The parasite or parasites being investigated in each study. - 'specific parasite': Cleaned 'Parasite' columns where parasites are referred to by their scientific names - 'specific parasite 2': In some cases, papers examine maintenance species for multiple parasites. These parasites are included in this column. - 'class': The general class of the parasite in 'specific parasite' column - 'class 2': The general class of the parasite in 'specific parasite 2' column - 'parasite_genus': The parasite genus - 'parasite_genus2': The parasite genus for the parasite in 'specific parasite 2' column - 'Order': The general "order" of the host species used in the study. Useful for grouping host types. - 'Declaration': The final decision of the manuscript with regards to maintenance: "Reservoir": Species acted as a reservoir/maintenance "Failed": Species failed to meet the papers requirements to be considered a reservoir/maintenance species. - 'Notes': Notes that were unique to individual studies and noted by the researchers.
