tickborne diseases. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect
residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan,
and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis. Information on preventing tickborne diseases is
available online at https://www.nj.gov/health/cd/topics/vectorborne.shtml.
