*Variables relate to companion animals and peridomestic wildlife and include duration of potential monkeypox virus exposure to the animal within the household of the mpox case in relation to the date of sampling. AOA, animal outdoor activity; CCR, contact change with animals reported after mpox diagnosis in household member; CSI, co-sleeping with animal while owner infectious; DIS, direct interaction score comprised of the sum of all reported interaction types involving direct contact; HH, household; ID, identification; SXDS, mpox case-patient with symptoms during sampling; UNK, unknown. †Considered as none (pet not allowed outside), walks (periodic or frequent supervised walks outside), or yard (periodic or prolonged unsupervised outdoor activity). ‡Based on data reported or estimated, the approximate area range is displayed for increased anonymity. §Cumulative days potentially exposed to mpox.
