Proportion of active nymphs that chose the scented focal stick for each Borrelia ecotype. The proportion of active I. ricinus nymphs that chose the focal stick scented with mouse odours is shown for each of the three groups of nymphs. The three groups were: uninfected nymphs (16.20% = 29/179), nymphs infected with the bird-specialist ecotype (21.05% = 16/76), and nymphs infected with the rodent-specialist ecotype (23.08% = 3/13). The differences in attraction to rodent odour between the three groups of nymphs were not statistically significant. Shown are the means and the 95% confidence limits.
