How should I calculate the ERI (Entomological Risk Index) for the sampling site, if I have for example 150 ticks collected during 45 minutes on aproximately 0,01 hectares big sampling site? The number of infected ticks is 10, so the rate of infection is 0.06. Thank you in advance!

Hi Bronislava, I´m not an expert in this field; however some colleagues working with ticks have used the TDR review for calculation of risk indexes in the dengue vector model. I attach the document and I hope it could be useful for you!!!
