About The Tick App

The TickApp for Texas and the Southern Region has been developed to provide citizen consumers and professional practitioners with a convenient guide to the identification of ticks impacting humans, livestock, companion animals, and wildlife.  The TickApp also provides educational information on tick biology, association of disease causing pathogens, prevention and protection, and control and management.  The TickApp highlights information about a new invasive tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, and two tick species which fall under state-federal regulation for quarantine and eradication. Delivery of this information through smart phones and other similar devices is intended to reach consumers and practitioners quickly and conveniently when and where it is needed most – the field, home, clinical or client-based settings.

The TickApp is a product of Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service funded in part through a grant provided by the Southern Region IPM Center.
