N = number of papers. In the section, “targeted animal species” is indicated if the study describes the targeted sampling of a single species or if more than one species is tested due to opportunistic sampling (such as trapping or netting). * Acronyms for the sampling strategies refer to live sampling (L), environmental sampling (E), passive surveillance (P), and sacrifice of animals (S).
