Ticks are tiny and so well camouflaged in dark clothing!
Lighter coloured trousers and socks are the way to go!

@qubgradschool 🐾 Traditional antiparasitic treatments face resistance and environmental concerns, highlighting the need for a One Health approach. My research investigates how pet behaviors, influenced by owners and environments, impact parasite risk. #tweetyourthesis
My PhD takes a #OneHealth look at ticks and tick-borne diseases in Northern Ireland. By recognising the interconnection between people, animals, and their shared environment, we can use comprehensive techniques to tackle the problem.

Tick-borne encephalitis and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever are two viruses carried by ticks in Europe. There are other pathogens as well. lymedisease.org/chesney-tick… #ticks

Ready for the summer? Don't forget to protect yourself from ticks!
Ticks can carry pathogens that cause serious illnesses. Tick-borne encephalitis (#TBE) being one of them, can lead to issues with the central nervous system.
How to keep yourself safe?

I got to give my first talk after maternity leave this morning at the @QUBbioscience Understanding Health and Disease symposium.
A nerve-racking return but enjoyable nevertheless!
