Creeping north: Why ticks and Lyme disease are on the rise in N.B.

  • Ticks continue to expand their range north into New Brunswick, moving beyond their established presence in the southern areas of the province.
  • This northward movement coincides with warming temperatures and environmental changes that create better conditions for tick survival and reproduction.
  • In 2023, New Brunswick reported 100 confirmed Lyme disease cases, nearly triple the five-year average, with most cases in southern health region 2 near Saint John.
  • Laboratory testing shows 5 to 10 percent of local ticks carry the Lyme disease bacteria, and officials recommend carefully removing the entire tick and submitting it for testing.
  • The rise in tick populations and infections suggests increased public health risks, prompting distribution of tick removal devices and ongoing monitoring by provincial research centers.
