@ticks7 So cool!!! Did you see the ticks climb very high? Or just about the height of what a boar or deer might be?

The first paper led by folks in the Poh lab has been published! 🥹🥳

We investigated the potential role of the Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) in the cattle fever (bovine babesiosis) system.🐮🦠Spoiler: It doesn't have a role!😅

Annual Ohio #Lymedisease cases increased ~10X between 2012-2022, largely because of the range expansion of the blacklegged #tick. There were over 1,000 cases in 2023! @OHdeptofhealth has the where, when, and who here:

#LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth

[Risa Pesapane, Ph.D. (she/her) @RisaPesapane]

We're entering the highest risk period for #Lymedisease because nymphal blacklegged #ticks are most active in May/June. Do you know how to safely remove a tick? Check out this video starring @labofshort and her tick plushies #lymediseaseawarenessmonth

[Neeta Pardanani Connally @ticklab]

#FranTick doesn’t get out much, mostly because she is HUGE and has limited peripheral vision (and ahem, we have research to do). But I kinda keep hoping someone will double-dog dare me to take her to a conference full of #tick nerds who might appreciate how truly great she is!

We reviewed the existing and developing triatomine control strategies and compared the controls between US and elsewhere in Latin America. Great team work with @cassie_durden @hamer_lab !
