Table 6. Estimates of reservoir capacity for reservoir hosts of Amblyomma americanum–associated zoonoses*.

Host	% Blood meals associated with pathogen infection (95% CI)
	Ehrlichia chaffeensis	E. ewingii
Ruminantia	2.1 (30 –75.2)	3.1 (33.0–70.8)
Sciurus	2.1 (3.7–37.9)	3.2 (4.5–32.1)
Leporidae	4.8 (1.2–29.8)	4.8 (0.8–21.0)
Passeriformes	0	1.1 (0.8–21.0)
Squamata/testudines	0	0

*CI, confidence interval. Borrelia lonestari is omitted because of the confounding influence of transovarial transmission.
