Great collab - fun writing it over lunch - looking forward to the big study to be published too! ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ๐Ÿ
So I got bitten by many ticks over my PhD, turns out one of them was a reptile-specific species. We published this record and a quick review of parasitism in this tick species @siobhon_egan @DrCharOskam sciencedirect.com/science/arโ€ฆ
