Species richness, diversity, and abundance of small mammals and fleas inside and outside plague risk area. (A) Comparison of species richness of small mammals and fleas during and outside of plague season. Fleas-all is the number of flea species collected from both indoors and outdoors in a homestead, Fleas-outside is the number of flea species collected from outside of the huts in a homestead. (B) Species diversity of small mammals and fleas during and outside of plague season. (C) Total abundance of fleas per homestead and fleas per small mammal host during and outside of plague season. Error bars represent ±1 SE. *Indicates statistically significant difference (α = 0.05) between abundance during and outside of plague season.
