University of Sydney is conducting a study to better understand how
residents and their pets are encountering ticks and wildlife in their
backyards. We invite all Northern Beaches residents to participate in
our survey.
 Coastal bushland remnants and other green spaces across the Northern Beaches are home to a variety of native plants and animals. They also provide a place for residents to enjoy their favourite outdoor pastimes. Paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) are common in the Northern Beaches and feed on a wide range of animal hosts during their life cycle. Understanding the complex relationship between ticks and their host species is an essential part of our research. The information we gain will contribute to our growing knowledge of ticks and will guide future research efforts. We aim to identify:
All identifying information will be removed from any data presentations. The survey should only take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is voluntary.
