Fig. 2 — Schematic representation of the vector-borne infection model. Susceptible vectors from any stage (L_S, Np_S, A_S) can become infected at rate λ _v when they feed on infected hosts (H_I). Susceptible hosts can become infected at rate λ _h following a feeding event by an infected vector. Contact rate is set to 1 year^-1 to respect the fact that ticks feed once per year.
