The expanding range and prevalence of ticks in Ontario, particularly the black-legged tick, pose increasing risks of tick-borne infections and encounters with humans. Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, in partnership with the University of Guelph, will be organizing a Tick Identification Workshop to support public health professionals with passive and active surveillance initiatives.
Objectives:
Faster Surveillance:
 Equip participants with the skills for faster turnaround times in passive surveillance efforts.
Enhanced Active Surveillance:
 Provide Public Health Units with in-house expertise in identifying ticks during active surveillance.
Risk Assessment:
 Enable participants to assess the health risks associated with different tick species.
Long-term Monitoring:
 Empower PHUs to track and survey tick activity over time and tailor educational efforts accordingly.
Workshop Content:
Participants will learn to identify male and female adults, nymphs, and larval stages of common tick species in western, southern, and eastern Ontario:
American dog tick (
Dermacentor variabilis
)
Blacklegged tick (
Ixodes scapularis
)
Groundhog tick (
Ixodes cookei
)
Squirrel tick (
Ixodes marxi

Lone Star tick (
Amblyomma americanum
)
Brown dog tick (
Rhipicephalus sanguineus
)
Logistics:
Location: University of Guelph, Graham Hall - Room 3309
Each workshop session will accommodate approximately 25 participants.
This full-day workshop will run from 
9:30 AM to 4:30 PM
, with a 
one-hour lunch break
Participants are encouraged to 
bring their own lunch
