Tick Surveillance Program
Thank you for your interest in submitting a tick to our Kentucky Tick Surveillance Project. The results from the testing done here will be of service to Kentuckians concerned with tickborne illness and the specimens will help to further public health research at the state level. To be clear, this is not a medical diagnostic service. This is a monitoring and surveillance project to better understand what our tickborne issues are in Kentucky.
