Inclusion and exclusion criteria used to select studies for the review

Inclusion Criteria
Contains primary data on populations of alien species established in the wild outside their native range and causing (or having potential to cause) zoonotic disease
Contains primary data on the role of alien species (or potential role) as a vector or reservoir species for a zoonotic disease in the wild outside their native range
Reviews the role of alien species in zoonotic disease transmission and spread in the wild outside their native range (either considering only the alien species or the alien species in comparison to native species)
Contains primary laboratory data on competence of alien species which are vectors or reservoirs for a zoonotic pathogen where the laboratory test populations arefrom outside the native range

Exclusion Criteria
Contains only ecological, taxonomic, genetic or physiological data on the alien species with no data on a zoonotic disease
Contains data on alien species involved as a vector or reservoir species for a zoonotic disease in the native range of the IAS only and with no information from outside the native range
Contains data on invasiveness of a pathogen inside host tissue as opposed to data on an alien species
Contains data on a non-invasive scientific method as opposed to data on alien species
Contains data on zoonotic disease in humans without linkage to ¹alien species
Contains data on zoonotic disease links to alien species hosts but the hosts are not identified to species
Contains data on alien species links to zoonotic disease where alien species populations are captive or kept as pets only with no free living alien species populations
Contains data on bites by an alien species as health problem rather than infectious zoonotic disease
Reviews that do not explicitly link alien species and zoonotic diseases (e.g. of invasion and biosecurity policy, zoonotic diseases and ecosystems, zoonotic diseases and biogeography, wildlife trade)
