Pathogens detected in ticks at study sites in Ontario and Quebec, Canada.

Caption

Larger circle size represents areas with greater tick abundances. Circle colouration demonstrates the proportional results of pathogen testing for tick pools. Light blue represents tick pools that were negative for pathogen testing. Proportions of tick pools that were positive and harbouring Babesia odocoilei (turquoise), Borrelia burgdorferi (light purple), or Rickettsia rickettsii (dark purple) are noted on the map.
