High Risk: High density of host-seeking nymphal I.scapularis ticks.
Medium Risk: Medium density of host-seeking nymphal I.scapularis ticks
or where at least 2% of I. pacificus ticks have been shown to be
infected with B. burgdorferi.
Low Risk: Areas where I. scapularis or I. pacificus ticks
have been reported, but host-seeking nymphs are extremely rare (I. scapularis)
or infection prevalence is low (I. pacificus).
No Risk: No reports of I. scapularis or I. pacificus ticks.
