Lyme disease is spreading because higher winter temperatures allow #ticks to remain active longer and survive winters in places where they previously died off. Why are winter temperatures rising? #Climate change. Another consequence/cost of #climatechange.

I lied. The oxpeckers might be my favorite African birds. This Red-billed Oxpecker was busy eating ticks off this giraffe at Kruger National Park, South Africa. #birds #giraffes #ticks
A small bird with a vibrant red beak and striking yellow eyes clings to the side of a giraffe with a patterned coat. The bird’s dark feathers contrast with the warm tones of the animal’s fur, showcasing their symbiotic relationship. The bird appears focused and intent, using its beak to forage as it perches securely on its much larger host.

the next time you see a possum, thank him/her (instead of trying to kill it) - they eat ticks. 'Nuff said. #lymedisease #ticks #pestcontrol #opossum

Invasive ticks are spreading, bringing new disease risks. Climate change plays a role—but so does 150 years of catastrophic bird loss and broader biodiversity collapse. Fewer predators = more ticks. Nature’s balance sheet is in the red. apple.news/AxMU95d9RQdK...

Health Update: Foster girl Lena & I are happy to report that I finished my medication for Anaplasmosis about 5 days ago & I'm feeling about 75% better. My doctor wants to give it 2-3 more weeks to see if I can get to 100% on my own! #dogs #ticks #marthasvineyard #blueskydogs #anaplasmosis

Parasite conservation sounds like a counterintuitive idea, but actually there are lots of reasons why this is important for the long term sustainability of biodiversity and ecosystem processes. #parasitology #ticks #ectoparasite 🪱🧪🌍 therevelator.org/ryukyu-r….

Saving the Ryukyu Rabbit Tick: The Posterchild of Parasite Conservation • The Revelator

This endangered invertebrate is harmless to humans — and rabbits. Saving it from extinction might even benefit both species.
