Wild ungulate species with degree greater than 10 are included. Degree (number of parasite species); Unique (number of parasite species not found in any other host); Punique (proportion of total that are unique); Shared (number of parasites shared with domestic ungulates); Pshared (proportion of total shared with domestic ungulates); RefNum (number of references from GMPD describing that host species); L, the liability index. Punique and Pshared do not sum to 1 because parasite species shared with other wild species are not included.
