A csv file containing all carnivore species currently known to have an association with a zoonotic disease (species column) and whether each species' range overlaps with a raster detailing the top 20% of population growth from 2000 to 2020 (overlap_population_growth). A value of 1 in the overlap_population_growth column indicates that the species' range overlaps with this raster. The species range data are from the IUCN RedList and have been rasterized to 100 km<sup>2</sup>. Human population density data from 2000 and 2020 were obtained from WorldPop, resampled to 100 km<sup>2 </sup>to match the resolution of the species' range data, and used to obtain regions of population density increase.
