Figure 2. Mean disease criteria importance scores by country and by public and professional groups.

Disease criteria are presented in order of the human-related criteria with the highest mean score across all four groups, followed by the corresponding animal-related criteria. (*Disease criteria with mean scores that did not differ significantly between combined public and combined professional groups (p>0.0024 - Bonferroni-corrected p-value cut-off) using t-tests. ^∧Disease criteria with mean scores that did not differ significantly across all four groups (p>0.0024 - Bonferroni-corrected p-value cut-off) using ANOVA. All remaining disease criteria had mean scores that were significantly different between combined public and professionals groups (p<0.0024) and across all four groups (p<0.0024)).
