From: Implications of climate change on the distribution of the tick vector Ixodes scapularis and risk for Lyme disease in the Texas-Mexico transboundary region

Figure 6

Stable area for the distribution of I. scapularis in the geographic area of study. Highlighted is the area in the Texas-Mexico region that will remain suitable for the maintenance of Ixodes scapularis populations present and future (2050) regardless of the prediction made (IPCC scenario and GCM). The total area is estimated in 569,910 Km2. Black dots denote the localities we recorded for infected and non-infected I. scapularis ticks.
