Sampling of various areas in Europe to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibody response in wild rodents. A) Location of sampling areas. Colors indicate the proportion of samples taken in the 2 habitat types (green: forests; blue: urban parks) and symbol size and numbers indicate sample size. Samples were taken from up to 8 different sites in each country (Appendix 1 Figure 1). B) Number of individuals sampled, by date and taxonomy. Details of sampling periods, habitats, and rodent species are provided in Appendix 1 Table 1. Details of sampling periods, habitats, and rodent species are provided in Appendix 2.
