Description
Sibaram Sadangi, Marijo Parčina, Nico Mutters, and Timo Falkenberg set out the plan for a study of tick risk in city parks. As cities grow greener and better connected for wildlife, the parks that cool and calm urban life also give ticks and the germs they carry more chances to meet people.
Over two seasons, the team will drag cloths across eleven green spaces near Bonn and Cologne to collect ticks, then test the ticks for pathogens. They will also survey park visitors about what they know and do regarding ticks. By comparing parks with different layouts and animal communities, they hope to measure how design choices shape infection risk. Their goal is advice for building green space that is safer by design.
