Tick Lab in Action
The 2024 WCSU Tick Lab summer student research assistants are gearing up for nymphal blacklegged tick season! These students will be helping to monitor ticks at long term surveillance sites and will help collect data for research studies evaluating how well lawn mowing and cedar oil sprays work to manage backyard ticks. Good luck, summer tick crew! For more info about WCSU tick-related projects, reach out to Dr. Connally (connallyn@wcsu.edu) or visit www.wcsuticklab.com.
