Abstract
Due to the impact of climate change on environmental factors, tick populations are expanding in various regions, posing a growing public health concern due to the tick-borne pathogens (TBP) they transmit. To address this issue and gather valuable insights for preventing tick-borne diseases (TBD), the TickTrax software initiative introduces a website and mobile application that utilizes citizen science to monitor and track tick distribution worldwide. By adopting a citizen science-based approach, TickTrax significantly enhances the size and diversity of the collected data. The TickTrax software platform offers an intuitive interface, enabling users to contribute valuable tick-related data through both the website and mobile application. The data is aggregated into a live database, which visualizes tick location across different regions. The project's key components encompass user input, data visualizations, and the ability to export reports for further analysis. Through these features, TickTrax aims to empower the public to actively participate in tick monitoring and disease prevention efforts.
