1 Tick bite prevention and control Howard S. Ginsberg, Ph.D. USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Coastal Field Station, Woodward Hall PLS University of Rhode Island Kingston, RI 2881 USA

5 Tick Bite Prevention and Control Discussion Points: 1) Geographical dimensions of tick bite and associated health concerns in the southeastern U.S. distribution of ticks and tick-borne pathogens to help focus efforts geographically 2) Targeting tick control efforts what can be done, and getting people to do it? 3) Effectiveness of tick control efforts in southern environments 4) Prioritize research questions related to tick management in the southern U.S.
6 Approaches to managing ticks and tick-borne pathogens - Self-protection precautions - Habitat manipulation - Manipulation of host populations - Biological control - Pesticide applications - broadcast - host-targeted
7 Self protection precautions Avoidance Repellents Vaccination

9 Lyme disease incidence among Fire Island National Seashore staff (n~55) Before intervention: Seroconversion appx. 12% per year Intervention: Identification of high-risk habitats; active Safety Committee requiring buddy system for tick checks, protective clothing in high-risk habitats, use of repellents, tick check, showering and changing into fresh clothes after work day, easy access to medical attention. After intervention: No cases of Lyme disease for subsequent two years. One case the third year.

25 INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT Traditional agricultural model Keep pests below Economic Injury Level: COST / BENEFIT = 1 Vector-borne diseases Minimize number of cases: COST-EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS
26 IPM for tick-borne diseases purpose of management examples analysis decision-making protect commodity ticks on cattle, cost/benefit lower vector numbers larval ticks in effective, costcausing nuisance efficient manner in tourist area manage vector-borne ticks carrying costdiseases of humans Lyme disease, efficiency Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever allocate available resources to maximally lower the number of human cases of disease
27 IPM for tick-borne diseases of humans Integrate techniques so as to efficiently lower probability of exposure to pathogen P e = 1 (1 k v ) n P e = probability of being bitten by at least one infected vector k v = proportion of vectors infected with pathogen (=prevalence) n = number of vector bites
