TICK DATA

This map summarizes Borrelia burgdorferi (the etiologic agent of Lyme Disease) prevalence data for Blacklegged Tick (Ixodes scapularis) populations in Tuscarawas County, Ohio.   Each pin represents a location that we have surveyed.  By clicking on a pin, you can access updated information on the prevalence of Borrelia in the ticks we have sampled there (as "percent positive for Borrelia") and the number of ticks that have been tested from that location.   This research is being conducted by students and teachers at New Philadelphia High School, New Philadelphia, Ohio and is supported by grants from the Ohio Environmental Education Fund and the Entomological Society of America's Chrysalis Fund.
