In species groups, the Corn snake (23.36%, 25/107) showed a slightly significant difference in infection rate compared with the Pine snake (15.79%, 15/95, χ 2 = 1.818, p = 0.178), Common garter snake (19.54%, 17/87, χ 2 = 0.414, p = 0.520), California king snake (21.90%, 23/105, χ 2 = 0.064, p = 0.800), Hognose snake (18.64%, 22/118, χ 2 = 0.872, p = 0.350), and Black rat snake (21.98%, 20/91, χ 2 = 0.054, p = 0.817).
