CNY Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Alliance
The Alliance is a collaborative of providers, scientists and community members who support research, drive education and promote awareness to combat tick-borne diseases.
Dr. Saravanan Thangamani, Director of the SUNY Center for Environmental Health and Medicine, shares concerning trends from the Upstate Tick Testing Laboratory.
This year, the lab has seen a rise in Lone Star and Dog ticks submitted for testing, with data showing these species rapidly expanding their range from southern parts of the state into central and western New York. The lab has also detected an increase in ticks positive for Anaplasmosis, a serious tick-borne pathogen that can cause severe illness.
