Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Deer Tick Virus (Powassan Virus, Lineage II) in Ixodes scapularis Ticks in Five Habitats at a Nature Reserve in Southern Maine, United States.

For both the annual and habitat summaries, statistical differences in mean tick encounter rate and mean ERI were tested using pairwise Wilcoxon rank sum tests and DTV prevalence using pairwise Fisher’s exact tests (tests significant at P ≤0.05 and marginally significant at 0.05 < P ≤0.10).
