Feeding rates in 2018 (a) and 2019 (b). Ticks were fed a blood meal containing 1 × 106 PFU of TBEV strain Haselmühl 303/16. The feeding rate (number of engorged ticks divided by the total number of ticks tested) was calculated per month. Data were statistically compared using Chi-square test if all expected counts were 5 or greater, otherwise Fisher’s exact test was chosen using GraphPad Prism 8.3.1. Numbers of ticks tested are indicated above each bar plot. Significant differences are indicated by asterisks (ns; ***p < 0.001).
