Time series of maps illustrating spatial dynamics of a tick infestation within the hypothetical 10,000-ha ranch containing good (green), fair (red), and poor (blue) tick habitat types. Acaricide applications capable of complete and continuous elimination of all on-host ticks applied to cattle and nilgai (but not white-tailed deer) were initiated during week 25 of 2009. Yellow represents infested landscape cells
