The North Dakota Department of Health partnered with North Daktoa veterinary clinics and zoos to conduct tick surveillance throughout the state to provide information on the distribution of ticks in North Dakota. Ticks were collected from animals and submitted to the NDDoH each week for identification and tick-borne pathogen analysis. Surveillance did not take place in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
