Researchers study ticks in Ottawa where residential zones border woodland areas

Canadian researchers compared the prevalence and infection rate of ticks in residential, woodland and residential/woodland border zones in Ottawa.1 They found that there were 15 times as many nymphal ticks in the woodland zones and 4 times as many in the border zones than in the residential areas. Specific ecological characteristics were associated with both the number and infection rate of ticks.
