@beachescouncil Are you part of a sporting or recreation club that is based along the #NorthernBeaches? Have you ever been bitten by a tick? We want to hear from you!

Congratulations to Samantha Gunasekera who was named runner up in the @AS_Para student prize for her 15min talk about her PhD project. Sam has been busy developing a 'gut on a chip' model for investigating enteric parasites. Well done Sam!! 👏

@RBorrelia @hayleejw @Amanda_M_Norton @IsobelRonai You might also want to check out I. auritulus for comparison as it also parasitises this bird.

@RBorrelia @hayleejw @Amanda_M_Norton @IsobelRonai Hosts for I. kerguelenensis

Hello Twitter tick friends! I am dealing with a new Ixodes species I haven’t seen before and think it’s I. kerguelenensis. Does anyone have experience with Australian ticks? These come from New Zealand. All help welcome! 😊

@RBorrelia This is what I found on NZ ticks... doi.org/10.11646/zoota…

@agvocate_au @caseyttaylor We, @pirwin8 and @DrCharOskam spoke with @beachescouncil about making it more clear about risks of ticks. Watch this space!!

@cryptick_lab @caseyttaylor No thats a handy thought. A reserve where ticks are & people unaware because there's no signage. Im told a new site sign is coming. Think I will suggest some tick & leach info goes up too.

They’re the size of an apple 🍎 seed, yet this bite-sized problem costs AU's ag industry approx. $160 million per year. Now thanks to a new grant, MU researchers 👩‍🔬 will investigate ticks to limit them wreaking havoc on WA's cattle indus. loom.ly/gYGxZbE

@MurdochUni @MUniResearch Grateful to receive funding to do this important research 🔬 🐄 @DPIRDWA #CattleIFS @cryptick_lab

Did you catch @DrCharOskam talking about her latest grant to understand biosecurity knowledge gaps relating to ticks & tick borne diseases in cattle on @ABCRural Great Southern and South West Rural Report? @MUniResearch #HarryButlerInstitute @DPIRDWA #CattleIFS

Does the reptile tick 𝘉𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘺𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘪 bite people? Yes, it does! Dr Stephen Graves has 1st experience - he was bitten on his thigh by this tick!
