Abstract

In the Estimation methods subsection of the Materials and methods, there is an error in the third sentence of the third paragraph. The correct sentence is: Percent similarity of hosts in each category, and ticks collected from hosts in each category (Fig 4C and 4D), were calculated using the following formula 45], % Similarity = 100 − 50∑|pa,i−pb,i|, where pa,i = proportion of host individuals a in category i and pb,i = proportion of ticks b from hosts in category i. There is a formatting error in Fig 3. Additionally, in Fig 5, the number of individuals from the category "squirrels, rats" that were sampled in Florida to determine the numbers of larvae should be 27.
