UMaine Supports Breakthrough Tick Research!
The Boston Globe recently highlighted the University of Maine's collaboration with UMass Amherst researchers in an important tick study. UMaine contributed tick samples that helped reveal a new form of bacteria found on rabbit ticks in New England — a discovery that could have significant implications for understanding tick-borne diseases.
This partnership showcases how research collaborations between universities strengthen our ability to protect public health through science and innovation. 🧪🌎
