Illustration of the simulation model. Each generation consisted of 100 mice. Nymphs from the previous generation were used to create a virtual pool from which nymphs were drawn to infect mice at the next generation (with first generation using results from the final day of the laboratory experiment). One nymph was randomly drawn at day 0 and again at day 21 for the infections. Possible outcomes include extinction of either strain or coexistence
