Fig. 1

Sampling sites of I. ricinus in the Netherlands. Pooled and individual ticks from six forest sites (triangles) were used for a 16s rRNA amplicon 171 sequencing analysis. Individual nymphs from these and 13 (points) other forest sites were tested by 172 qPCR for the presence of tick symbionts. A box marks the sampling site by two letters, and a linear 173 colour gradient represents latitude-longitude. Full coordinates, habitat, vegetation cover, tick 174 densities, and a number of vertebrate species per locations are provided in Additional file 1: Table S1
