- **Event Name**: The Ecology of Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The New Haven Conservation Commission is hosting Associate Professor of Biology at Middlebury College, Dave Allen, as the next expert presentation in their Armchair Naturalist series.

Over the last three decades, tick populations and cases of tick-borne diseases have increased dramatically in Vermont. Tick populations and their associated pathogens are influenced by a complex set of biotic (e.g., deer and mouse populations) and abiotic (e.g., climate) drivers. As a result, it is challenging to pinpoint a single cause of this increase in tick populations. This talk will give a brief introduction to tick biology and then discuss my research efforts to understand what drives tick-borne disease risk in Vermont. 

Dave Allen grew up in Springfield, VT, in the 80s and 90s without ever seeing any ticks. He returned in 2010 and, like many others, was surprised and dismayed by how often he encountered them. This spurred his current research interest. He studies the ecological, climate, and landscape factors that determine tick-borne disease risk.
