Congratulations to Mervin Cuadera on his publication on tick knowledge and practices!
Congratulations to NEVBD MS program graduate Mervin Cuadera who recently published his work!
Cuadera MKQ, Mader EM, Greiner-Safi A and LC Harrington. 2023. Knowledge, attitudes, and practices influence tick bite prevention and control practices among residents of Long Island, New York. Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 102124. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877959X23000067
This survey validated measures of anxiety and prevention behaviors regarding TBDs. Highlights of the study include: respondents showed substantial misconceptions about Lyme disease infection and treatment; Long Island respondents had moderate knowledge regarding ticks; concern for tick-borne disease was positively associated with tick bite prevention practices; pet owners were more likely to practice tick prevention measures.
