Fig. 3From: Impact of vertebrate communities on Ixodes ricinus-borne disease risk in forest areasAssociation of leporid species and red fox to DON. Vertical axis: DON at each site of 1200 m2. Horizontal axis: encounter rate of leporid (the sum of hare and rabbit). A dashed line illustrates the best-fit negative binomial model (log link) describing leporid species (P = 2.0 × 10−2, exponential rate = − 3.987) or red fox (P = 8.8 × 10−4, exponential rate = − 6.396)Back to article page
