Figure 1: Inclusion criteria decision tree for pathogen selection.
Figure 2: Simulated risk score distributions for selected pathogens
(n=15).
Figure 3: Relationship between uncertainty and risk. (A ) Summed
“evidence” uncertainty scores vs. mean weighted risk scores for the 15
pathogens assessed. Total uncertainty scores were calculated according
to Table 3 and Eq. 3 for each pathogen. Solid line indicates the average
uncertainty score (7.6) (B ) Conceptual diagram for the
theoretical risk-uncertainty-response nexus. Hypothetical thresholds for
decision-making are represented by the solid line (higher risk tolerance
scenario) and the dashed line (lower risk tolerance scenario).
