Feeding success of Ixodes scapularis, Dermacentor variabilis and Amblyomma americanum ticks on Powassan virus lineage II (POWV II)-infected Balb/c mice. a Combined molting success of all engorged larvae is represented as the percentage of emerged nymphs divided by the total number of engorged larvae (n = 421). b Species composition of emerged nymphs represented as the percentage of each species divided by the total number of emerged nymphs. I.sc  I. scapularis, D.va  D. variabilis, A.am  A. americanum. c Species composition at detachment (number of days post-infestation). Bars: black represents  I. scapularis; white,  D. variabilis; gray,  A. americanum. d Percentage of POWV II-positive emerged nymphal ticks by number of days post-infestation at detachment broken down by tick species (coloration in bar as in c)
