May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the US. Each Friday in May 2020, one of the Centers of Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases provided a lunch and learn seminar covering tick and Lyme disease research. The Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases presented information on where ticks live in the environment, what animals they feed on, Lyme disease risk in urban areas, and a review of the invasive Asian longhorned tick. Presentation was held on May 8, 2020.
