About the photo by Sean Norona: Dr. Gideon Wasserberg tends to his sand fly colony with undergraduate researcher Chelsea Akabueze. Along with his research on sand flies for Leishmaniasis prevention, Wasserberg has found that the blacklegged tick, the primary vector of the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, has been spreading to areas previously considered low risk.
