Tick-borne diseases account for 70% all reported vector-borne disease cases in the U.S. each year, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. This symposium will discuss surveillance programs that define how tick populations are expanding geographically across the U.S. and related activities aimed at reducing illness in populations at risk.
