Estimated cases of animal-human contact mitigation strategies in the WS network. a Weekly new cases of mitigation strategies. b Cumulative cases in high-risk groups of mitigation strategies. c Cumulative cases in low-risk groups of mitigation strategies. Red dots and stars represent weekly new cases of Canada. From May 18 to August 18, 2022, the blue solid line is curve fitting, and other lines show trends in weekly new cases due to changes in transmission rates (increases of 100% and decreases of 20%, 50%, 90%, 99%) since the emergence of cases. The epidemic trend after 18 August 2022 is the result of taking mitigation strategy persistently as of 18 August 2022
