From: Effectiveness and profitability of preventive veterinary interventions in controlling infectious diseases of ruminant livestock in sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review

Fig. 4

Profitability of preventive interventions in controlling infectious diseases in ruminant livestock. The y-axis shows the specific diseases evaluated by species of livestock, with included study references in parenthesis. The x-axis shows the profitability of the interventions in controlling the specified diseases on a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) scale. Shapes are used to distinguish between study types while colors distinguish between the different preventive interventions evaluated in the included studies. “random. (field)” represents studies that adopted field trials while “epidemiological” denotes all other study types except experimental studies. “AM Tx” denotes antimicrobial treatment. The position of shapes on the BCR scale denote the profitability of the interventions in controlling the specified diseases of interest in the included studies. “$” in shapes represents the internal rate of return of an intervention in controlling the specified disease for studies that did not present data for BCRs to be calculated
