To answer client questions and promote awareness, we will also be hosting a webinar on Wednesday May 7th at 4pm:
Please join us for an engaging presentation on tick species, tick pathogens, tick-borne diseases, tick bite prevention, and proper tick removal featuring Ohio State tick experts, Tim McDermott, DVM, assistant professor, Ohio State Extension, College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences, and Risa Pesapane, PhD, associate professor, College of Veterinary Medicine and College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. This hour-long webinar will also highlight Ohio State’s new tick-borne pathogen testing service, Buckeye Tick Test.
