Please check out version 1 of the Ixodes Outreach Project Story Map Website. We are inviting the community to assist us in creating a "tick bank" by submitting tick specimens to our research lab. Each time a tick is submitted, a pin is placed on the map. This way we can build a risk map of where ticks are active. Over time we plan to test the specimens for pathogenic organisms, such as the bacteria that causes Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) and others.
