Theyโre the size of an apple ๐ seed, yet this bite-sized problem costs AU's ag industry approx. $160 million per year. Now thanks to a new grant, MU researchers ๐ฉโ๐ฌ will investigate ticks to limit them wreaking havoc on WA's cattle indus. loom.ly/gYGxZbE

Grateful to receive funding to do this important research ๐ฌ ๐ @DPIRDWA #CattleIFS @cryptick_lab โ at Sydney, New South Wales
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
Dr Sheryl van Nunen OAM providing an update on tick associated allergies #mammalianmeatallergy #mma #ticks #alphagal โFREEZE donโt squeezeโ to remove ticks! Best not to antagonise the tick when remove it.
Does the reptile tick ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ค๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฉ๐บ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ด๐ข๐ถ๐ณ๐ช bite people? Yes, it does! Dr Stephen Graves has 1st experience - he was bitten on his thigh by this tick!

Great collab - fun writing it over lunch - looking forward to the big study to be published too! ๐ท๏ธ๐
So I got bitten by many ticks over my PhD, turns out one of them was a reptile-specific species. We published this record and a quick review of parasitism in this tick species @siobhon_egan @DrCharOskam sciencedirect.com/science/arโฆ

WOW! Over 100 surveys completed already! Let's keep the momentum up. If you're an Australian vet or clinical vet student, we need your help 'to provide insight into the current knowledge base on canine vector-borne diseases in Australia' @MarkSchipp murdochuni.syd1.qualtrics.coโฆ
149 surveys completed! Can we make it to 200 by the end of this week? Please share with your #Vet colleagues & clinical yr #vetstudents in Australia!! @AustVetAssoc @AS_Para ๐๐ถ๐ฉบ๐ฉธ๐ฉโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ
