Have you heard about the longhorned tick? Native to East Asia, this tick was first found in the U.S. in 2017 and poses a risk to livestock and wildlife.

Learn more about this pest and its impact on animal health in Tennessee in our latest publication: https://t.co/Wh4bO6I30W.

My penultimate (great word) #LIWC2023 post.
@epp_tn PhD students Rebecca Butler & @katyvsmith gave excellent talks about Asian longhorned ticks & detecting livestock pests. BOTH received travel awards from the group...and lots of questions!

@llysndkvch @epp_tn Thanks friends!😊

Do you own cattle (beef and/or dairy)?
Do they have flies and/or ticks?
Are you willing to take pictures of those pests and share them with me?
If you answered yes to these questions, you can help with my PhD research!
