Special Projects
2017-2019, 2021-Present
The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services partnered with North Dakota veterinary clinics, animal rescues/shelters, Game and Fish staff, and Wildlife Services staff to conduct tick surveillance throughout the state to provide information on the distribution of ticks in North Dakota. Ticks were collected from animals and submitted to HHS each week for identification and tick-borne pathogen analysis. Surveillance is also conducted via tick drags and tick traps. Surveillance did not take place in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To request past reports, please email the tick surveillance team at NDticks@nd.gov.
2010
The North Dakota Department of Health collaborated with North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota to conduct tick surveillance throughout the state to determine the presence of the deer tick in North Dakota. Ticks were collected at sites around the state, with an emphasis on the eastern side of the state and where the habitat is more likely to support a deer tick population. To request past reports conducted by NDSU and UND, please email the tick surveillance team at: NDticks@nd.gov.
