The four rodents in this study are:

the thirteen-lined groundsquirrel (I. tridecemlineatus)
the meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hud-sonius)
the meadow vole (M. pennsylvanicus)
the prairie vole (M.ochrogaster)

Quote: of the animals captured, 32.5% (277/853) tested positive for the presence of B. burgdorferis. l. DNA at both loci.
