An ongoing epidemic of RMSF is affecting tribal communities in Arizona, with nearly 500 cases and 28 deaths since 2003. The San Carlos Apache Tribe has been consistently working to prevent RMSF using tick collars on dogs, pesticide treatments around homes, and increasing education for nearly a decade. Besides monitoring human disease levels and tick burden on dogs, we have little understanding of the long-term impact of prevention practices on tick abundance and infection rates in the peridomestic environment. We evaluated risk factors associated for tick infestation at home sites across the San Carlos Indian Reservation as well as\n                    <jats:italic>R. rickettsii<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Rickettsia massiliae<\/jats:italic>\n                    prevalence in off-host ticks. Although the presence of fencing appears protective, the number of nearby structures is the most important risk factor associated with increased adult and nymphal tick abundance, highlighting the
