sampling small mammals for ticks

Jérôme Pelletier, DVM, and colleagues handle a small mammal in the field during the course of their study examining whether a drug for protecting pets from ticks could be deployed in rodent baits to interrupt the host-to-vector transmission cycle in which ticks acquire the pathogen that causes Lyme disease from mice and other small mammals.
