Figure 7.

Response of various risk measures to increasing temperatures (relative to historical temperature, w = 0) for 0, 2, 4, and 6°C temperature increase. Each risk measure is scaled against its own value at w = 0. In this figure, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, and k represent the following: (a) annual average of number of questing nymphs (NI₂) at steady state, (b) annual average of infected questing adult ticks (AI₂) at steady state, (c) annual average of infected questing ticks (AI₂ + NI₂) at steady state, (d) annual average of disease prevalence in questing nymphs (NI₂/(NI₂ + NU₂)) at steady state, (e) annual average of disease prevalence in questing adult ticks (AI₂/(AI₂ + AU₂)) at steady state, (f) annual average of disease prevalence in competent stationary hosts (CIS/(CIS + CUS)) at steady state, (g) annual average of disease prevalence in competent mobile hosts (CIM/(CIM + CUM)) at steady state, (h) maximum daily number of infected nymphs (NI₂) at steady state, (i) maximum daily number of infected adult ticks (AI₂) at steady state, (j) maximum daily number of infected ticks (AI₂ + NI₂) at steady state, and (k) degree days at steady state.
