Know your ticks!

 These ticks are everywhere, this is some great information! SRN



This lab is dedicated to the control of emerging tick-borne diseases by understanding the environmental interactions of ticks, hosts, and habitats, and to increasing public awareness of the threat of Lyme disease through continued monitoring of the geography of risk.

As a public service, this website is a resource for Lyme disease education, containing information on: types of ticks in Maine, whether they are a significant health threat, tips on prevention of Lyme disease, and information on Lyme disease.  As an additional service, paired with the online identification guide, the lab offers to identify ticks found in Maine.
