Fig 2. Cumulative frequency graphs of percentage of (A) Ixodes, (B) Dermacentor, and (C) Amblyomma tick nymphs removed from the surface of the silicone skin equivalent with time.

Except for Ixodes nymphs at 40.0°C which showed a lower removal percentage compared to the higher temperatures, there is no observable temperature dependence on tick nymph removal for all 3 species.
