| description:
|
The state has a diverse and abundant tick community that is poorly understood, and new human pathogens transmitted by the ticks are being discovered. Using citizen science, we can develop information on patterns in tick-borne health issues at the statewide scale, and simultaneously convert the public from passive recipients of information to active participants in scientific study. Participants will enclose ticks in zip-locked plastic bags and mail them to A.T. Still University. Ticks will be identified to species, sex, and life stage using morphological characteristics. Ten adult ticks of each species from each county will be screened for pathogens individually. A.T. Still University will test for the presence of Borrelia, Ehrlichia, Tuleremia, and Rickettsiabacteria via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Statewide maps will depict distribution of each tick species, and pathogen species totals, by county. |
