Cumulative mean probability a surviving nymph will find a host by time t (parameter c), calculated for each study site in 2016. Solid lines represent estimates of c(t) using increasing values of the host association ratio hN on a logarithmic scale. Lowest line corresponds to hN = 0.1 (indicating that larvae are 10 times more likely to infest mice than are nymphs), while the uppermost dashed line corresponds to the upper bound of hN (for which c = 1).

Diagram of the behavioural assay arena. Petri dishes (150 mm × 15 mm) were divided into two zones with a centre line: hair zone and non-hair zone. The host hair (white-footed mouse, cat, dog, white-tailed deer, and human) was placed in the hair zone and formed an irregular hair interface (dashed line). At the start of the behavioural assay, Haemaphysalis longicornis or Ixodes scapularis larvae (n = 10) were placed on the centre line and assays were replicated three times for each hair treatment.
