Presentation on Tick Control Research Methods

 

 

Body

The Parks Division accommodates many requests to conduct research in City of Madison parks.  Much of this research ultimately supports environmental and public health.  One current effort is aimed at improving field methods and controlling disease vectors.

UW Madison Research Specialist Tela Zembsch will present a talk titled "What's for dinner? Using sunflower seeds to improve animal trapping and host-targeted tick control for the blacklegged tick".
