Daily Hampshire Gazette features UMaine researcher on changing tick activity

The Daily Hampshire Gazette featured Allison Gardner, associate professor of arthropod vector biology at the University of Maine, discussing how changing seasonal patterns are affecting tick activity across New England. “I’ve been seeing ticks already this April in Maine, which I can assure you, I was not seeing 10 years ago when I first moved here,” Gardner said. “So it’s a very real change that’s taken place on a reasonably short time scale.”
