Conceptual diagram for the experimental design of the study. a Mice group-housed in a large enclosure and presented with bait station, alternative diet, water source, and shelter. b Control group mice received no fipronil bait prior to being transferred to the insectary for tick exposure. Larvae were allowed to feed to repletion and molt. c Treatment group mice were presented with bait stations loaded with fipronil bait. d Mice transferred to the insectary for tick exposure. Fipronil bait prevents larvae from feeding to repletion and molting
