Notes: Borrelia miyamotoi is excluded as Borrelia miyamotoi disease is not nationally notifiable. Deer tick virus is excluded as prevalence of this pathogen was not reported in Jordan et al. (2022). Sample sizes used to calculate NIP are as follows: Hunterdon 2020 (n = 126); Hunterdon 2021 (n = 106); Monmouth 2020 (n = 555); Monmouth 2021 (n = 404).
