* '''Vertebrate Community Composition'''<ref>PMID:15514047</ref>: Two types of environment that the vertebrate hosts reside, which is also called vertebrate host density are interspecific community, which involves organisms of different species and intraspecific community, which is composed of organisms of same species. The hosts living in the community within different species or same species strongly affects the proportion of infected nymphal tick that can cause human Lyme disease. | * '''Vertebrate Community Composition'''<ref>PMID:15514047</ref>: Two types of environment that the vertebrate hosts reside, which is also called vertebrate host density are interspecific community, which involves organisms of different species and intraspecific community, which is composed of organisms of same species.

* '''Distribution frequency of particular oMGs'''<ref name="Distribution frequency of particular oMGs">PMID:16606995</ref>: After taking blood meal from their hosts, the proportion of host-seeking nymphs infected with each oMG differs among oMGs. As only four types of oMGs (A, B, I and K) are responsible for systemic human Lyme disease, the | * '''Distribution frequency of particular oMGs'''<ref name="Distribution frequency of particular oMGs">PMID:16606995</ref>: After taking blood meal from their hosts, the proportion of host-seeking nymphs infected with each oMG differs among oMGs. As only four types of oMGs (A, B, I and K) are responsible for systemic human Lyme disease, the host-seeking nymphs that have high distribution frequency of four invasive oMGs is one of the standard measures of human Lyme disease risk. | ||
* '''Transmission Probability'''<ref name="Distribution frequency of particular oMGs">PMID:16606995</ref>: The transmission probability of each oMGs from individual species differs. The higher the transmission probability of a particular oMG from vertebrate host, the higher the chance of carrying that particular oMG by the ticks after receiving blood meal from their hosts is. Thus, it is one of the parameters that | * '''Transmission Probability'''<ref name="Distribution frequency of particular oMGs">PMID:16606995</ref>: The transmission probability of each oMGs from individual species differs. The higher the transmission probability of a particular oMG from vertebrate host, the higher the chance of carrying that particular oMG by the ticks after receiving blood meal from their hosts is. Thus, it is one of the parameters that contributes the prevalence of human Lyme disease. | ||
