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 and white-tailed deer only (Scenario 5). 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
