Marin ticks carry more disease than thought

Jump to navigation By  06/16/2021 Disease-carrying ticks are much more widespread in Marin than scientists once thought. In hotspots like the Bolinas Lagoon, roughly one third of ticks may carry human pathogens.  Ticks are commonly associated with woodlands, and scientists have mainly studied Lyme disease rather than other tick-borne illnesses. But a recent study took a more open-ended approach and found that the arachnids were plentiful in open coastal areas of Marin, and that many carried bacterial diseases other than Lyme.  Dan Salkeld, the study’s lead author, suspected that Marin hikers probably understood the risk before scientists caught up. “I think locals have known this for a while, and I just wasn’t aware of it,” he said. 

Unwelcome and tough to evict: California s costly, uphill battle against invasive species

Interlopers are coming into California by land, by sea … and by FedEx. That’s what happened with the European green crab, a voracious cannibal that stowed away in packages of worms sent by overnight delivery to commercial fishermen in California. Unknown to anyone, the tiny crustaceans were concealed in seaweed that wrapped the cargo and were freed into the Pacific when fishermen tossed it overboard. Then the green crabs, which a century ago decimated the East Coast’s shellfish industry, began to dine out in the Pacific, munching nearly everything in sight. Authorities made plans to rid the ocean of the pests.
