Each category represents the mean prevalence of each specific co-infection type as opposed to overall prevalence. Error bars show standard error. Note that no co-infections were observed in D. carolinensis.</p> 2014-06-18 03:30:47 ecology Community Ecology Ecological risk organisms animals invertebrates arthropoda arachnida ixodes ticks Veterinary science Veterinary diseases Zoonoses epidemiology disease vectors Vector biology Infectious diseases Bacterial diseases Borrelia infection Lyme disease Human granulocytic anaplasmosis Emerging infectious diseases Parasitic diseases babesiosis Public and occupational health disease ecology prevalence anaplasma Babesia borrelia burgdorferi
