With Pennsylvania ranked No. 1 in the nation for Lyme disease cases, Penn State Extension is continuing its efforts to educate people about tick-born disease with a webinar to share information on ticks and disease prevention starting Thursday and running through Sept. 17.

Erika Machtinger, assistant professor of entomology, is part of the extension team that will be hosting the webinar series.

“Since ticks are a major concern in the commonwealth, the idea is that folks will get a basic and understandable foundation for how to protect themselves, their families and their animals from vector-borne diseases,” she said.

Each webinar lasts one hour and will take place at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on the scheduled dates. The webinars will be recorded for later viewing.
