In advance of today's tick and tick-vectored disease research conference in Moncton, NB, biology professor and CLSA co-founder Dr. Vett Lloyd spoke with CBC about the threat posed by ticks in the maritimes this year.
"We're seeing more ticks than we have in any other year so I think it's going to be quite a busy year for ticks," Lloyd said.
"The frequency of infection with the Lyme disease bacteria is going up plus we're starting to see some new tick borne diseases showing up."
