Figure 1

Sampling locations for all Rhipicephalus microplus and R. annulatus collections screened for resistance SNPs in this study. Panel A) All R. microplus collections exhibiting at least one resistance SNP (detected via quantitative PCR or Sanger sequencing) are marked with a yellow triangle. No resistance SNPs were detected in any R. annulatus collections (Additional file 1: Table S1). The pink line delineates the northern boundary of the permanent tick eradication quarantine area (TEQA) that is maintained along the international border of Texas and Mexico, while the green polygons represent the maximum extent of three temporary preventative quarantine areas (TPQAs) that were implemented from 2007–2012. Panel B) Mexico collections (Rm 69–77) are represented at the state level in the inset map. Only three collection sites in Mexico (Rm69, 72, and73) carried fully susceptible genotypes, shown as a blue circle in the state of Colima (see Additional file 1: Table S1 for details).
