Ecology of Ticks

Ecology of ticks and tick-borne pathogens

Our group is investigating the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on the distribution and spread of ticks and tick-borne pathogens, including Borrelia burgdorferi, in Ontario.  We are also looking at risk factors associated with tick and tick-borne pathogen carriage in domestic dogs.
