Numbers in bold with an asterisk (*) indicate matching genospecies between individual bird and hosted ticks, for the indicated category. Acronyms in table are: BBSL, B. burgdorferi s.l; BBSS, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto; BBIS, B. bissettii; BBSL(un), undifferentiated genospecies in the B. burgdorferi sensu lato complex that are neither BBSS nor BBIS; and BBSLmix, any combination of BBSL(un), BBSS, and BBIS detected in a single sample.
