Monitoring and forecast system schematics. Ento-epidemiological and environmental information (obs: climate observations, fcsts: climate forecasts) are used to force four ℛ0 models. Each model is independently calibrated using a pattern-based post-processing approach before being combined.

Diagram of the behavioural assay arena. Petri dishes (150 mm × 15 mm) were divided into two zones with a centre line: hair zone and non-hair zone. The host hair (white-footed mouse, cat, dog, white-tailed deer, and human) was placed in the hair zone and formed an irregular hair interface (dashed line). At the start of the behavioural assay, Haemaphysalis longicornis or Ixodes scapularis larvae (n = 10) were placed on the centre line and assays were replicated three times for each hair treatment.

Gross morphology and histology of the stomach of Peromyscus leucopus LL stock. The glandular mucosa portions of the stomach and the forestomach with stratified squamous epithelium are indicated. Panel A, whole stomach after dissection. Portions of the esophagus and small intestine are juxtaposed in the center in this view. Bar, 1 cm. Panel B, histology of hematoxylin and eosin-stained section of junction of glandular and squamous epithelium parts. Bar, 100 µm. Panels C and D, Gram stain (C) and Wright-Giems
