Fig. 8From: Effect of rodent density on tick and tick-borne pathogen populations: consequences for infectious disease riskAssociation between density of rodents and a pathogen amplified by birds. The graphs show the relationship between the number of rodents per plot in year t and NIP and DIN (number per 200 m2 per plot) in year t+1. a Effect of rodent density on NIPt+1 B. garinii. Rodent density had significant negative effect on NIP in both years. b Effect of rodent density on DINt+1 B. garinii. Rodent density had no effect on DINBack to article page
