PragmaTick – a new tool for tracking ticks across Europe
We’re excited to announce the launch of the PragmaTick mobile application, now available for both iOS and Android devices. Developed as part of the PRAGMATICK COST Action, the app provides a simple and effective way for the public to contribute to the monitoring of ticks in Europe.
The app allows users to report suspected tick sightings, upload photos, and answer a few quick questions about the context of the finding. These citizen-generated data points are then reviewed by researchers and contribute directly to ongoing surveillance efforts. The app not only supports data collection but also offers educational content, including guidance on tick identification, up-to-date information on local tick species, and debunking of common tick-related myths. It is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, serving both professionals and the wider public.
