In Canada, there were only a handful of cases only a decade ago,” McGill University biologist Virginie Millien. “It’s not a linear relationship, it’s exponential when a disease emerges. It’s not going to stop anytime soon because it’s really driven by climate warming.”

New study led by PhD Candidate Laura Lardinois (Barrett Lab) showed that the skin microbiomes of coral reef fishes respond to environmental changes created by seasonal upwelling, with potential implications for reef health under climate change. Published in BMC Microbiology: doi.org/10.1186/s128...
A researcher was able to find 13 ticks in just one hour, highlighting a growing public health concern in many parts of North America.
