Climate change is expanding the geographic range of Ixodes scapularis ticks and the risk of Lyme disease is increasing in New Brunswick. In response, this project’s purpose was to build capacity of the health care sector with a tick diagnostic laboratory service and increase knowledge and awareness. This project is an example of One Health and how this approach provides opportunities for increased multi-sectoral collaborations that together have a greater impact. One Health can enhance adaptive capacity related to climate change and climate-driven tick-borne diseases and increase resiliency.
