Lyme Disease Tick Surveillance Dataset

"In Ontario, data includes tick species, where the tick was collected, the time of year it was collected, and the age and sex of the person submitting. The Public Health Ontario Laboratory identifies the tick species, and blacklegged ticks are sent to the National Microbiology Laboratory for testing (Borrelia and Anaplasma)."
