Red and fallow deer determine the density of Ixodes ricinus nymphs containing Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Parasites & Vectors

Table 1 Density of nymphs infected with A. phagocytophilum (DIN) is unrelated with the density of nymphs (DON)

	DON	Test	Positive	NIP
DON
Test	0.7
Positive	0.26	0.48
NIP	0.11	0.22	0.93
DIN	0.34	0.41	0.94	0.91

Table entries are Pearson correlations calculated using Additional file 1: Table S2. Numerals are italicized when the p-value is < 0.05. DON: Density of questing Ixodes ricinus nymphs. Test: Number of questing Ixodes ricinus nymphs tested for the presence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Positive: Number of Anaplasma phagocytophilum presence in questing Ixodes ricinus nymphs
NIP Positive divided by test, DIN density of infected Ixodes ricinus nymphs.
