(A) The predicted distribution of I. scapularis in Minnesota is shown in red and is overlaid onto the risk of I. scapularis-borne disease based on the average incidence (cases/100,000 population) of Lyme disease and human anaplasmosis cases reported to the Minnesota Department of Health, 2007–2013. Low risk is defined as <10, moderate risk is defined as 10–25, and high risk is defined as ≥25 cases/100,000 population.

(B) The distribution of dominant land cover types (United States Geological Service, National Gap Analysis Program (GAP) National Vegetation Classification—formation or land use classification) across Minnesota. The majority (67%) of predicted suitable habitat for I. scapularis in Minnesota is located in cool temperate forests, shown in bright green.
