What are the things that signify a Manitoba spring?  The sight and sounds of geese, the lawn taking on the faintest shade of green, and the little creepy crawlies that you feel making tracks up your leg in the middle of the night.

Yes, unfortunately in Manitoba with the season of spring comes the season of ticks.

Brandon University professor in the Department of Biology, Dr. Bryan Cassone, has a keen interest in infectious diseases carried by both ticks and mosquitos.
