SUMMARY:IK02 - Triple Whammy: Exploring the Effects of Prescribed Fire and
  Rising Temperature on Tick-borne Diseases
DESCRIPTION:Keynote, Public Lecture\n\nFolashade Agusto (The University of
  Kansas)\n\nRecently tick ranges have been expanding due in part to rising
  temperatures as consequences of climate change, increasing the risk of ti
 ck-borne illnesses, and necessitating practical ways of managing tick popu
 lations. Prescribed fires is a commonly used land management practice that
  is time and cost efficient. This lecture will discuss the effects of pres
 cribed fire intensity (low and high) and the duration between burns on the
  prevalence of tick-borne illnesses as temperature rises, and explore the 
 effect of prescribed burns on the establishment of ticks into new areas. T
 he results indicate that prescribed fire intensity has a larger impact in 
 reducing disease prevalence than the frequency between burns. Infrequent b
 urns, however, are ineffective at preventing tick establishment since popu
 lations can recover quickly following a burn, while frequent long-term pre
 scribed burns can slow and possibly prevent tick establishment into new ar
 eas.\n\nSession Chair: Katherine Evans (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
