Comparison performance for a map of global bushmeat activities to improve zoonotic spillover surveillance*

Model Area under the curve
 % Relative contribution of bushmeat activity
Without bushmeat activity raster With bushmeat activity raster
EVD MaxENT 0.893 0.899 44.23
EVD BRT 0.880 0.887 17.06

*We compared area under the curve with and without bushmeat activities (hunting, preparing, and selling bushmeat) as predictor variable for EVD. BRT, boosted regression tree; EVD, Ebola virus disease.
