Comparison of host habitat use preference on mean off-host larval tick densities (per ha) (± SE) (a) at the landscape level, (b) in mesquite, (c) in mixed brush and (d) in meadows from scenarios with cattle, white-tailed deer, and nilgai (Scenario 1, CWN), only cattle (Scenario 2, C), and only white-tailed deer and nilgai (Scenario 3, WN). Results are shown for simulations with (white bars) and without (gray bars) host habitat use preferences. Star symbol indicates that the difference is statistically significant at p ≤ 0.01. No eradication schemes were applied in these scenarios
