Effects of altering nilgai habitat use preferences on mean off-host larval tick densities (per ha) (a) at the landscape level, (b) in mesquite, (c) in mixed brush, and (d) in meadows when acaricides were applied to cattle only (Scenario 4). All three host species were present in this scenario. Bars and dots represent mean, maximum, and minimum densities that occurred during years 2 through 5 of simulations
