Larger circle size represents areas with greater small mammal abundances. Circle colouration demonstrates the proportional results of pathogen testing for individual small mammals. Light blue represents small mammals that were negative for pathogen testing. Individual small mammals that were positive and harbouring Babesia odocoilei (turquoise), Babesia microti (pink), and a Hepatozoon species (teal) are noted on the map.
