Description

The emergence of Lyme disease and the rapid geographical range expansion of certain tick species in Canada are important issues for public health authorities and the public in general. A citizen science project called eTick invites the public to participate in the monitoring of ticks in Canada by submitting tick photos via a mobile application or a web site (eTick.ca) for identification by trained personnel. The identification results (usually returned within 1 business day) appear in real time on a public interactive map so that visitors can visualize all entries for a specific area and/or examine individual submissions. All eTick products and services (application download, image identification, consultation of public data) are free of charge. Ten provinces are currently participating: BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, QC, NB, NS, NL, and PE, with Territories to be added soon.

2 day turnaround for tick verification

helped me and my family a number of times and eased our anxiety when we find a tick (or one that turns out not to be a tick). The 2 business day turnaround for letting users know whether it was a tick or not is the killer feature. The map of crowd sourced ticks is very helpful too. Thank you.
