His research focus is on tick ecology, area-wide tick control strategies, tick-bite protection, and tickborne disease prevention. His research and outreach programs are diverse, including anti-tick vaccine discovery projects, evaluations of targeted tick control strategies, tickborne disease risk prediction, as well as development of tick-bite protection decision support tools and social networking strategies for tickborne disease prevention. TickEncounter.org has received local, national, and even international recognition. His work has attracted funding from a wide variety of sources, including the National Institutes of Health, National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the US Department of Agriculture, the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the US Agency for International Development .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contributors<\/h2>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"uri-people-tool cl-tiles halves\"><div class=\"peopleitem h-card has-thumbnail\">\n\t<header>\n\t\t<div class=\"header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/tickencounter\/meet\/sara-e-bertuccio\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/tickencounter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1713\/Sara_Bertuccio-1.jpg\" class=\"u-photo  wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sara Bertuccio\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"p-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/tickencounter\/meet\/sara-e-bertuccio\/\">Sara E.
