eTick is a public platform for image-based identification and population monitoring of ticks in Canada. The emergence of Lyme disease and the rapid geographical range expansion of certain tick species in Canada are important issues for public health authorities and the public in general. The platform is free of charge and all eTick products and services (application download, image identification, consultation of public data) are free of charge.
However, eTick was awarded a 3-year grant from the Infectious disease and Climate change fund (Public Health Agency of Canada) to expand the identification services to Ontario and New Brunswick, modernize the user interface, and develop a mobile eTick.ca application.
