 days get warmer\, are you planning to spend more time enjoying the great o
 utdoors in western Maryland? If so\, you may be concerned about encounteri
 ng ticks and tick-born diseases.  Join us for Where the Ticks Are: Mapping
  the Location of Pathogen Carrying Ticks on Western Maryland to learn more
  about ticks in our region. Dr. Rebekah Taylor\, Associate Professor of Bi
 ology at Frostburg State University\, will discuss the ongoing research sh
 e and her students have been conducting on ticks and Lyme disease in weste
 rn Maryland. \n\n\n\nThis event will held on Zoom. Registration is require
 d.  Once registered\, attendees will receive the Zoom information via emai
 l.  \n\n\n\nDr. Taylor and several undergraduate and graduate students at 
 Frostburg State University are currently investigating the prevalence of B
 orrelia burgdorferi\, the causative agent of Lyme disease\, in Western Mar
 yland.  Ticks are collected and tested for the presence of Borrelia by PCR
  analysis\, and blood and tissue samples from wild mice are also tested by
  ELISA and PCR.  These data along with environmental information will allo
 w a broad picture of the emergence of Lyme in the regional area. Dr. Taylo
 r's ultimate goal for this data is an interactive web application that wou
 ld allow hikers\, bikers\, and others planning to spend time outdoors loca
 lly to check the prevalence of ticks carrying Borrelia burgdorferi. \n\n\n
