We conduct year-round surveillance for ticks and their associated pathogens across 20 sites in Delaware, utilizing both active and passive collection methods. I highlighted the three primary human-biting tick species in our state: the American dog tick, the lone star tick, and the black-legged tick, emphasizing their public health implications. I encourage viewers to visit our program website for resources on tick identification, prevention, and to utilize our Tick Interaction Report for timely identification of ticks they may encounter. Thank you for your attention, and I appreciate your support in our efforts to understand and manage tick populations in Delaware.
