The loss of connectivity in the networks of larvae, nymphs, and adults of the genus <i>Ixodes</i> and the genus <i>Rhipicephalus</i>.

<p>Loss of connectivity is calculated after removing hosts randomly (Random, yellow), or after removing hosts in decreasing order of their BNC (red) or of their WD (blue).</p

The network of interactions between tick genera and life stages (L, larvae; N, nymphs; A, adults) and the families of hosts.

<p>Only the genera and stages of ticks are labeled to improve readabilty. <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0006248#pntd.0006248.s002" target="_blank">S2 Fig</a> includes the same figure with all the nodes labeled. Nodes are sequentially colored to represent clusters, with nodes of the same color belonging to the same cluster. The size of each node is porportional to its betweenness centrality (BNC), and the size of the label is proportional to its weighted degree (WD). The width of the links is proportional to the weighted number of interactions recorded between hosts and ticks.</p
