New England Tick Forecasting

Can scientists develop an accurate model of when and when ticks will be most plentiful?

Why this matters

Ticks carry numerous diseases harmful to humans, pets, and wildlife. The cumulative impact of these bloodsuckers can harm the health and reproductive success of moose and other wildlife. Knowing where and when ticks are at their worst can help people avoid exposure and help wildlife biologists anticipate wildlife impacts.
