With at least 27 species of ticks in the eastern U.S., ticks and tick-borne diseases have become a serious public health issue. Cornell University experts are warning that in 2019 the Asian longhorned tick will track further into the U.S., humans may be struck with tick-borne infections within 15 minutes of contact, and pets will be exposed to ticks simply by running on a freshly mowed lawn. Laura Harrington, Laura Goodman, Manigandan Lejeune Virapin, and Matt Frye are available for interviews on tick-borne diseases, prevention tips for humans and animals, advice on pest management, and invading tick species.
