Figure 1. Geographic distribution of roe deer samples collected. The map shows the location of the 25 state forest districts in Denmark. Numbers in circles indicate number of samples collected in each district. Three districts, Klosterheden, Hanherred, and Nordjylland, did not submit samples. Also shown is the approximate density of Ixodes ricinus ticks in Denmark, redrawn from (11) as shaded areas. Flagging is the technique of collecting ticks by moving a piece of fabric mounted on a stick through the vegetation for a given period of time.
