Deer Tick Study Needs COLLEGE PARK, Md.—Vol unteers are needed to help with a study of Maryland’s deer tick population being conducted today by members of seven state and fed eral agencies. Participants will examine fresh ly killed deer at specific deer check stations throughout the state and collect any ticks found on the head and neck of each animal. Deer ticks can cany Lyme disease, a growing threat to human and ani mal health. “The number of human cases of Lyme disease in Maryland increased 70 percent between 1989 and 1990,” said Nancy Breisch, an entomology consultant with the Cooperative Extension Service, Maryland Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources. MIANR is one of three research and public service institutions of the Univer sity of Maryland System. Breisch and other experts hope that by examining deer carcasses throughout the state they will be able to track the spread of deer ticks and document any increase in the number of ticks infected with the Lyme disease-causing bacteria.
