.Dr Charlotte Oskam 👩🏻‍💻🧬👩🏻‍🏫🦠 is overseeing award-winning projects on the surveillance of ticks and their associated microbes that are putting Australia on the map for tick-borne disease research. murdoch.edu.au/news/articles/…

All this important work is brought together at the Centre for Biosecurity and One Health at the Harry Butler Institute, led by Professor Chad L Hewitt. Learn more about the Centre’s research here: murdoch.edu.au/research/hbi/o…

Great collab - fun writing it over lunch - looking forward to the big study to be published too! 🕷️🐍

Congrats Lillian Leong for getting 1st class honours - "Distribution and Prevalence of Theileria orientalis Genotypes in Adult Lactating Cows in Western Australia Dairy Herds" We can't wait to hear what you'll do next! 🤞🙌Murdoch University

Tick-borne disease work never ends - not even on your birthday! Happy birthday Prof. Peter John Irwin 🎉 #tbd #parasitology #ticks #dscatt #research Tick season is nearly upon us so we’re equipping medical clinics & pharmacies with info about our study.

Did you catch Dr Charlotte Oskam 👩🏻‍💻🧬👩🏻‍🏫🦠 talking about her latest grant to understand biosecurity knowledge gaps relating to ticks & tick borne diseases in cattle on ABC Rural Great Southern and South West Rural Report? Murdoch University Research #HarryButlerInstitute @DPIRDWA #CattleIFS

They’re the size of an apple 🍎 seed, yet this bite-sized problem costs AU's ag industry approx. $160 million per year. Now thanks to a new grant, MU researchers 👩‍🔬 will investigate ticks to limit them wreaking havoc on WA's cattle indus. loom.ly/gYGxZbE
