They harbor and transmit various pathogens, including viruses and bacteria , to humans and animals. A well-known and increasingly prevalent tick-borne disease in central New York in recent years is Lyme disease. In Oswego Cou nty, we saw more than 30 times increased in confirmed Lyme disease cases am ong our residents from 2009 to 2017. Ticks do not jump or fly. They sit on grass or in brush or hide deep in the fur of wild animals and wait for oppo rtunities to crawl to human and domestic animals. The best personal protect ion against tick-borne disease is to prevent tick bites. On May 23, the Osw ego County Health Department will host Dr. Stephen M. Rich, Professor of Mi crobiology and Director of the Laboratory of Medical Zoology at the Univers ity of Massachusetts, Amherst. Dr. Rich is a respected expert on ticks and tick-borne diseases. He will present a Public Forum on “Ticks and Tick-born e Disease: Preventing Lyme and other Tick-borne Disease” in Oswego County. Dr. Rich is a native of Watertown, NY, attended Immaculate Heart Central Hi gh School and earned a B.S. in Biology at St. Lawrence University. He went on to post-graduate study at the University of Vermont (M.S.) and Harvard U niversity, and earned a PhD at the University of California (Irvine). He ha s more than 50 publications on disease-causing microbes transmitted by tick s and mosquitoes. He has received numerous awards for his research accompli shments. He is a recognized authority on ticks and tick-borne disease, incl uding Lyme disease. His laboratory has revolutionized tick-borne disease su rveillance and risk assessment with the crowd-sourced TickReport testing pr ogram. Dr. Rich will provide an overview of the hazards and risks associate d with ticks in plain language. Although the risk of Lyme and other disease s has increased since the first reports in the 1970s and the list of germs transmitted by these ticks has grown long, there are ways of significantly reducing exposures to these diseases. Dr. Rich will explain these hazards a nd describe appropriate personal protective measures that can greatly reduc e risk. We are fortunate to have him to spend time with us while he is in t he area visiting friends and family. His presentation is open to the public with ample opportunity for questions from the audience.
