Abstract: The primary goals of this project are two-fold; 1) assess the current tick management capacity and knowledge in vector management programs that receive public funding in the Upper Midwest, mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and pacific coast states, and 2) determine the services that vector control program staff believe should be part of comprehensive tick control programs if they are developed in the future. We also hope to identify barriers to the development of comprehensive tick management programs and ways CDC can begin to address gaps. Agencies and companies will be surveyed using REDCap. This survey will be entirely voluntary.
