Figure 1. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “Tick Bite Data Tracker” defined regions (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, South Central, and West) were used to analyze equine veterinarian responses to survey questions related to ticks and tick-borne diseases. 
Figure 2. Total equine veterinarian responses by state to survey questions related to ticks and tick-borne diseases. The color shows number of respondents in each state, with darker colors representing higher response rates and lighter colors lower response rates; white represents 0 respondents.
Figure 3 . The number of horses cared for in an average year as reported by equine veterinarians during a survey on ticks and tick-borne diseases. N=75
Figure 4. Percent of equine veterinarians responding to “What life stage(s) of blacklegged, lone star, or American dog ticks is/are most likely to be found on horses?” in a survey of ticks and tick-borne diseases. The correct answer is in bold. N=62
Figure 5. Topics related to ticks and tick-borne disease that veterinarians wished they knew more about as determined during a survey on ticks and tick-borne diseases. Respondents could select as many options as desired, thus percentage represents the percent of the total number of respondents that completed the question independently for each question (N=58).
Figure 6. Locations on the equine body that best represents where ticks are removed by equine veterinarians from the A) Northeast and Midwest regions (N=33), B) the Southeast and South-Central regions (N=14), and C) West region (N=15). Responses from the Northeast and Midwest and the Southeast and South Central were grouped to combine regions where similar tick species presences and abundance were anticipated. The color scale represents the frequency at which veterinarians found ticks on horses, with blue representing a lower frequency and red representing a higher frequency.
