American Dog Ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) and Lonestar Ticks (Amblyomma americanum) and Associated Diseases

While Lyme disease is now a household word and most of us realize that non-deer ticks do not transmit Lyme disease, we should be aware that there are other ticks and other tick-borne diseases of concern. These important diseases will be presented in context of their relative risk and measures to reduce those risks. Speaker: Dr. Stephen Rich, UMass Laboratory of Medical Zoology

This is part of a FREE live webinar series presented noon to 1:00 pm on the 2nd Wednesday of the month in February, March, April, May, and October 2019.
