Descriptive variables for 23 Pteropus medius bat roosts sampled near confirmed human Nipah virus cases, Bangladesh, 2012–2019. Open circles show the values associated with the first human case associated with each roost; gray circles indicate means for each variable and positivity status (0 or 1). Vertical lines within boxes indicate medians; box left and right edges indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles; error bars indicate +1.5 times the interquartile range.
