DISCUSSION:
The California Department of Parks and Recreation has requested the Public Health Laboratory continue providing tick testing services for the presence or absence of Lyme disease. Samples will be provided by the North Coast Redwoods District. Tick testing will be provided on an as-needed basis and the tick samples will be brought to the Public Health Laboratory by the State Park employees who have been bitten. An added benefit is that local tick testing results may also aid in informing Public Health response measures and/or public messaging in the case of an abnormal or high level of positive cases.
State Standard Agreement # C25635006 is a renewal of a previous three-year State Standard Agreement. This agreement, if approved, is effective from April 11, 2026 through April 10, 2029.
