Ecosystem studies in New York state suggest that white-footed mice thrive when forests are broken into smaller isolated chunks of woodland with fewer rodent predators. With more rodents harboring the disease, the odds increase that a tick will feed on a disease-harboring rodent and that someone will pick up a disease-carrying tick in their garden or walking in the woods. Data indicates that the smaller the wooded area, the more ticks it will contain and the likely they are to carry Lyme disease, supporting the idea that <a href="/wiki/Deforestation" title="Deforestation">deforestation</a> and habitat fragmentation affect ticks, hosts and disease transmission.<sup id="cite_ref-Chrobak_157-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Chrobak-157"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>157<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Tick-borne diseases are estimated to affect ~80 % of <a href="/wiki/Cattle" title="Cattle">cattle</a> worldwide.<sup id="cite_ref-Rochlin_166-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rochlin-166"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>166<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> They also affect cats, dogs, and other pets.

None of the immunized animals developed Lyme disease if ticks were removed when redness developed. In contrast, about half of the control group became infected with B. burgdorferi after tick removal. When a single infected tick was attached to immunized guinea pigs and not removed, none of vaccinated animals were infected compared to 60 percent of control animals. However, protection waned in immunized guinea pigs if three ticks remained attached to the animal. Ticks in immunized animals were unable to feed aggressively and dislodged more quickly than those on guinea pigs in the control group.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Yale+University&amp;rft.atitle=Novel+Lyme+vaccine+shows+promise&amp;rft.aulast=Hathaway&amp;rft.aufirst=B&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fmedicalxpress.com%2Fnews%2F2021-11-lyme-vaccine.html&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ALyme+disease" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-189"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-189">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFSajidMatiasAroraKurokawa2021" class="citation journal cs1">Sajid A, Matias J, Arora G, Kurokawa C, DePonte K, Tang X, et&#160;al.
