Figure 3

Comparison of nymph density, infection prevalence, and density of infected nymphs by habitat type in islands with high incidence of Lyme disease, Western Isles, Scotland, UK, 2018. A) Nymph density shown by 10 m2 blanket drag. B) Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato shown by site. C) Density of infected nymphs per 100 m2 shown by site. Machair sites not shown because of low mean tick density (0.025 nymphs/10 m2; SE = 0.015). Horizontal bars indicate means and SEs.
