Fig 5. Effect of month, sex, and Borrelia infection on the mouse recapture rate.

Recapture rates for (A) Peromyscus leucopus mice over the course of the summer and for (B) susceptible and infected adult female and male mice. The recapture rate is the probability of encountering a marked mouse during a given sampling occasion. The recaptures rates are shown for a reference mouse, which is an adult female susceptible mouse living in the control area in May 2000. Shown are the means and the 95% confidence limits. The parameter estimates include variation due to model uncertainty.
