AMAZING work being done by SECVBD collaborators at the UF/IFAS PIE Center!
🚨 New #article alert!
In this study, we analyzed how people discuss #ticks and #tickbornediseases on Twitter, revealing key takeaways for public health messaging! @secvbd

Cases of the tick-borne Powassan virus have risen dramatically in recent years in the U.S. A new study provides insights into the transmission dynamics of the virus that could help focus public health efforts and limit infections. @VogelsChantal ysph.yale.edu/news-article/t…

Fran is all packed for her public appearance this weekend @EB_Entsoc! The “It’s a Bug’s World” Expo is going to be super fun, plus how often do you get to hang out with a #tick that’s nearly 8 feet tall?! She’s #FranTick to meet you so we hope to see you there! #Providence
If you’re heading to the @EB_Entsoc meeting next week in #Providence, come meet our lab mascot #FranTick! She will be making an appearance on Sunday 3/19 at the “It’s a Bug’s World” Expo and would love to meet you.

An interesting fact about male blacklegged ticks: they carry the Lyme disease germ just like the nymphs and females but they aren’t able to transmit an infectious dose! Read more bit.ly/tickspecies @RealMalachowski @LonnieRhea @Pogue @ticklab

Heya! I'm finally teaching Invertebrate Zoology this Fall and want a heavy 'dissection drawing' lab notebook. Anyone want to share any syllabi, guides, worksheets they give their students?

At the very tip of the #hypostome, ticks have little ‘scissors’ for cutting a hole in your skin. Then they insert the whole hypostome--but that’s not all that goes in. More about tick bites @ bit.ly/tick_bite_ology @RealMalachowski @LonnieRhea @lindy2350

The TickNET program @YaleEIP was part of a comprehensive, multistate study to estimate the economic burden of Lyme disease in the US. #LymeDisease #Ticks
New CDC research estimates the economic burden of Lyme disease in the U.S. Findings demonstrate a need for early and accurate diagnosis and improved prevention methods.

May is the ‘tickiest’ month! BIG American dog ticks, and ticks so tiny (nymph blacklegged ticks) they’re just hard to spot. Also, ticks so fast (nymph/adult lone stars) they disappear under un-tucked clothing in an eye blink. Do this: bit.ly/sprayshoes_nymphs
