Ticks are tiny and so well camouflaged in dark clothing!
Lighter coloured trousers and socks are the way to go!

@qubgradschool 🐾 Traditional antiparasitic treatments face resistance and environmental concerns, highlighting the need for a One Health approach. My research investigates how pet behaviors, influenced by owners and environments, impact parasite risk. #tweetyourthesis

My PhD takes a #OneHealth look at ticks and tick-borne diseases in Northern Ireland. By recognising the interconnection between people, animals, and their shared environment, we can use comprehensive techniques to tackle the problem.

Ready for the summer? Don't forget to protect yourself from ticks!
Ticks can carry pathogens that cause serious illnesses. Tick-borne encephalitis (#TBE) being one of them, can lead to issues with the central nervous system.
How to keep yourself safe?

I got to give my first talk after maternity leave this morning at the @QUBbioscience Understanding Health and Disease symposium.
A nerve-racking return but enjoyable nevertheless!
